Question

The rate of chemical reactions decreases as temperature is raised. true or false

Answer 1

False, the rate of chemical reactions is increased due to the higher level of kinetic energy present

Answer 2

False

Step-by-step explanation:

For most reactions, raising the temperature leads to a faster reaction/higher rate of reaction. This is because a higher temperature means that the reactant particles have a higher average kinetic energy meaning more of them have enough activation energy needed to partake in a successful collision. Not only that because they have a higher average kinetic energy they are moving faster meaning more chances of collisions
