Question

According to the collision theory of kinetics,A) the rate of reaction is proportional to the number of molecular collisions per second B) a reaction takes place only when molecules collide with the proper orientation and sufficient energyC) All if the options describe the collision theory of kinetics D) not all molecular collisions lead to reactions

Answer 1

C)

Step-by-step explanation

The collision theory of kinetics states that "when suitable particles of the reactant hit each other with correct orientation, only a certain amount of collisions result in a perceptible or notable change; these successful changes are called successful collisions", meaning collisions are needed for a reaction to occur, this means the rate of reaction is proportional to the number of molecular collisions per second. If one concentration is doubled, the number of collisions will also double.
