Essential Chemistry for IGCSE - Rate Of Reaction (Section 3 - No. 38)
What effect does increasing the temperature have on the rate of reaction?
It always slows down the rate.
It has no effect on the rate.
It increases the rate.
It decreases the rate.
Explanation
Increased temperature provides the reactant molecules with more kinetic energy, increasing the frequency of collisions and the number of collisions that have enough energy to overcome the activation energy, and thus increasing the rate of reaction
