Why does an increase in reaction temperature generally increase the reaction rate?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
All chemical reactions must be thought of as collisions between the particles of reactants and products. As the temperature of the reaction increases, the energy of the particles also increases and so there is a greater chance of more collisions occuring, and as a result, in general, an increase in reaction temperature increases the reaction rate

What happens to the rate constant of a chemical reaction when the temperature increases?
Increasing the temperature will cause there to be an increase in kinetic energy. This results in an increase in collision frequency, and eventually an increase in rate of reaction as well.
An increase in temperature will cause the rate of a chemical reaction to?
Increasing the temperature the dissolving rate increase.

How do changes in temperature affect the rate of a reaction?
An increase of temperature increase the rate of a reaction.
What leads to an increase in the rate of a chemical reaction?
Either (or both) an increase in the reactants or temperature will increase the rate of a chemical reaction.
How does increase in temperature generally affect the rate of reaction?
The rate increases

How does temperature affects the rate of industrial reaction?
It depends. A higher temperature will speed up an endothermic reaction, but slow down an exothermic reaction.
What does temperature have on reaction rate?
An increase in temperature speeds up the reaction rate.
What effect temperature have on reaction rate?
An increase in temperature speeds up the reaction rate.
An increase in temperature will cause the rate of a chemical reaction to?
Increasing the temperature the dissolving rate increase.

Is temperature essential in determining the reaction rate?
yes, as the reaction rate increases with increase in the temperature
How do changes in temperature affect the rate of a reaction?

In general an increase in temperature?
A general increase in temperature increases the reaction rate.
