Question

Consider two gases, A and B, which are in a container at room temperature. What effect will the following changes have on the rate of the reaction between these gases?

The temperature is decreased at a constant volume.

A. Increase
B. Decrease

Answer 1

A. The rate of reaction will increase or go up

B. The rate of reaction will decrase or go down.

Step-by-step explanation:

Increasing the temperature will make the gas particles move faster. Faster movement will increase rate of collision between particles to cause a reaction. Decreasing the temperature will cause the opposite to happen.
