Question

During a chemical reaction, increasing the temperature often

Answer 1

Answer: Increase Reaction Rates

Explanation: Increasing the temperature increases reaction rates because of the disproportionately large increase in the number of high energy collisions. It is only these collisions (possessing at least the activation energy for the reaction) which result in a reaction

Answer 2

leads to an increase in the rate of reaction

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase in the temperature of a reaction often leads to an increase in the reaction rate because, when the temperature is increased, the rate of collisions between the reactant particles increases (which in turn increases the number of effective collisions) causing more products to be formed.

Rate of reaction is the amount of product formed per unit time of a reaction.

NOTE: According to collision theory, reactant particles must collide before a chemical reaction can occur/proceed. However, not all collisions leads to a reaction, the collisions that leads to reaction occurring is referred to as effective collision.
