Why do reaction rates depend on temperature ? Explain.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Reaction Rate**: The rate of a chemical reaction is determined by how frequently reactant molecules collide with each other. For a reaction to occur, these molecules must collide with sufficient energy. **Hint**: Remember that collisions are essential for reactions to happen. 2. **Role of Temperature**: Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of molecules. When the temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the molecules also increases. ...
