What happens to the rate of a reaction when the temperature is increased, and why?
gpt
Increasing temperature increases the rate of a reaction because particles have more kinetic energy at higher temperatures and move faster, so they collide more frequently and have a greater chance of successful collisions. Increasing temperature also means that there will be more particles colliding with sufficient energy.
Explanation: Higher temperatures provide particles with more kinetic energy, increasing the frequency and effectiveness of collisions and thus the reaction rate.
