Answer any seven questions.
What happens to most probable kinetic energy and the rate of reaction with increase in temperature?

Explanation

Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. The number of molecules possessing higher energies increases with increase in temperature, that is most probable kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature.
Activation energy is related to temperature by the following equation:
`" "k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT)`
With increase in temperature, the number of molecules colliding with energies greater than activation energy increases. Hence, the rate of reaction increases with increase in temperature.
