Many reactions are of the form:
dCA/dt = kCA
dCA/dt is the change in concentration of A with time
k is the reaction rate constantCA is the concentration of A
The rate constant often exhibits an Arrhenius relationship, so:
k=Ae^(-Ea/RT)
A is a pre-exponential term (constant)
Ea is the activation energy of the reaction (constant)
R is the universal gas constant (constant)
T is the temperature of the reaction
Therefore, as T increases, the value of the exponential term increases. This means that k will increase as T increases, and therefore dCA/dt will increases as T increases.
Hope that helps!

Why does Enzyme reaction rate decrease at 37 degrees?
Enzymes are catalysts for chemical reactions. All chemical reactions are affected by temperature. Higher temperatures make the reactions happen faster, and colder temperatures make them happen slower. At 37 degrees, just a little above freezing, many biological enzymes practically stop working.
What controls the chemical reactions in a cell?
In the cytoplasm, because that is where the chemical reactions happen.
Which part of the cell membrane helps chemical reactions happen?
The Enzymesenzymes
Does rusting happen faster if at a higher temperature and if so why?
Rusting is a chemical reaction between iron and oxygen. Specifically, it is the oxidation of iron. Almost chemical reactions occur at a faster rate at higher temperatures because particles have more kinetic energy. Based on the principle that particles must collide to react -----> This increase in kinetic energy means that when particles collide they 1) collide with more energy and 2) have more frequent collisions therefore the rate of reaction increases. The exceptions are exothermic reactions, which tend to slow down when more heat is added.
What happen is the body do not have enzymes?
Without enzymes,the chemical reactions in your body would occur too slow to support life processes.
Why is chemical weathering faster in the tropics?
Because chemical reactions happen quicker in an increases temperature. So the more chemical reactions, the more chemical weathering
How does increasing temperature increases rate reaction?
Temperature can increase and decrease the rate of reactions. Heat increases, while cold decreases the rate of reaction. With the help of enzymes.
How does heat speed up decomposition?
Decomposition involves chemical reactions and as a rough approximation, for many chemical reactions happening at around room temperature, the rate of reaction doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature. The reason for this is that for chemical reactions to happen, at the smallest scale, the individual chemical molecules have to bump into one another. As molecules warm up they begin to vibrate more and the chances of them bumping in to one another increases - the more bumps that happen, the faster the reactions go.

What change will most likely increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
Factors which can increase the rate of a chemical reaction:- temperature- pressure- concentration of reactants- stirring- if solids are involved the dimension of particles is important- the type of reaction- the order of reaction- presence of catalysts- influence of external factorsetc.
What causes chemical reactions to happen?
It happen when it happen
What controls the chemical reactions in a cell?
In the cytoplasm, because that is where the chemical reactions happen.
What happen during metabolism?
it is broken down to fuel chemical reactions & is created by chemical reactions.
What does cytoplasm do for the plant?
Were all the chemical reactions happen
What chemical reactions happen when a firework is lit?
combustion...
Why do most enzymatic reactions slow down at extremely high temperatures?
From what I've learned in chemistry, molecules react faster in hotter conditions. Enzymes are the same. When it is a high temperature, it performs faster and therefore "better". However, at lower temperatures, the enzyme is "cold" and reacts and moves slower, therefore performing poorly.
What controls chemical reaction in a cell?
In the cytoplasm, because that is where the chemical reactions happen.
