Question

1. in a reaction rate experiment, if the concentration is held constant and the temperature is increased, what would you expect to happen to the reaction rate?

a. it increases
b. it depends on the specific reaction
c. it decreases
d. it remains the same

Explanation:

According to the collision theory, an increase in temperature leads to more kinetic energy for reactant molecules. This results in more frequent and energetic collisions, which are more likely to overcome the activation energy barrier. Thus, the reaction rate increases.

Answer:

a. It increases
