In order for a chemical reaction to occur, there must be a certain amount of energy to break, and then reform chemical bonds. The collision of particles must also occur at the correct angle for a chemical reaction to occur. Heat is essentially the energy a substance has, so the higher the temperature, the higher the energy of of the particles. If the particles have a higher energy, they move around faster, therefore increasing the probability of a successful collision. The energy (or velocity) of particles is also higher, therefore creating higher chance that there is enough energy in the chemical collision for the reaction to occur.

Why does lithium reacts faster in hot water?

b.c reaction rate increases as a function of temperaturebecause of the increase in heat, there is an increase in kinetic energy in the system, therefore the molecules move faster having more collisions

Why sugar desolve in hot water more than cold water?

Sugar dissolves faster in hot water than cold water. It doesn't dissolve more or less. Temperature only effects the rate of reaction.


What has a higher rate of evaporation hot water or cold water?

A higher rate of evaporation has hot water.


Why does water get hot when you mix calcium chloride?

When Calcium Chloride is mixed with water it performs an exothermic reaction which makes new bonds between the salt(Calcium Chloride) and the water. This will therfore make the solution of the reaction increase in temperature.

What can speed up an enzyme reaction?

An increase in temperature can increase the enzymatic reactions if it is not too hot and also if the pH is within the idea range it can speed up the reaction. The pH level is usually around 7 for most enzymes.
