Why does the rate of a reaction increase with rise in temperature?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

With rise in temperature, the energy possessed by the reacting species increases. As a result, more species are in a position to cross the activation energy barrier. Therefore, the reaction rate increase with rise in temperature.
