Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To address the question, we need to understand the factors that influence the rate of a chemical reaction, specifically in the context of collision theory. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Collision Theory**: - According to collision theory, for a reaction to occur, molecules must collide with sufficient energy and proper orientation. - The energy required for a reaction to occur is known as the activation energy. ...
