Why does increase in temperature increase the rate of a reaction?

Answer 1

To answer it, you have to imagine small particles in a solution.

Let's take a simple reaction like A + B -> C

To react, A and B have to bump each others.

If you heat the solution, atoms will move faster, so you will increase the probability of having shocks between A and B, then you will speed the reaction.

It's simplified, but it almost explains what really happens.

Answer 2

By definition, an exothermic reaction is a reaction which produces heat. In other words, one of the products of the reaction is heat. Burning wood or coal is an exothermic reaction for instance. Because heat is released by the reaction, the temperature of the surroundings goes up as the surrounding absorb that heat.

Answer 3

Increasing the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the reactant molecules, leading to more frequent and energetic collisions. This results in a higher probability of successful collisions with enough energy to overcome the activation energy barrier, ultimately increasing the rate of the reaction.

Answer 4

temperatures raise in and exothermic reaction.

Answer 5

it increases the kinetic energy of the molecules

Answer 6

This is because an increase in temperature is an increase in energy level, hence an increase in rate of reaction.
