On increasing the temperature by 10K, the rate of reaction becomes double. Which of the following is the most appropriate reason?

A

With increase of temperature, velocities increase and hence the number of collisions are appreciably increased

B

The activation energy decreases with increase of temperature

C

The bonds between the atoms of the reacting molecules become weak at higher temperatures

D

The higher the temperature, large is the fraction of colliding particles which can cross the energy barrier

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
High temperature causes more fraction of molecule over the energy barrier, which results double rate of reaction.
