Why do most chemical reaction rates increase rapidly as the temperature rise ?

A

The fraction of molecules with kinetic energy greater than the activation energy increases rapidly with temperature

B

The average kinetic energy increases as temperature rises

C

The activation energy decreases as temperature rises

D

More collisions take place between particles so that the reaction can occur

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

As the temperature rises , the molecules gain more kinetic energy and more number of collisions takes place leading to speeding up of reaction i.e., increasing the rate of reaction .
