Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 1 - No. 19)
How does increasing temperature affect the rate of a chemical reaction?
It increases the rate of the reaction.
It decreases the rate of the reaction.
It has no effect on the rate of the reaction.
It always decreases the rate of reaction.
Explanation
Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules, leading to more frequent and effective collisions, hence increasing the rate of the reaction.
