Question

How do changes in temperature affect the rate of a reaction?

OA. Changing temperature does not affect the rate of a reaction
because it does not change the activation energy.
B. Increasing temperature decreases the reaction rate because the
particles break down into nonreactive substances.
C. Decreasing temperature increases the reaction rate because the
particles are more likely to react when they collide.
D. Increasing temperature increases the reaction rate because the
particles move faster and collide more often.

Answer 1

D Increasing temperature increases the reaction rate because the

particles move faster and collide more often.

Explanation: An increase in temperature leads to an increase in the reaction rate and, conversely, a decrease in temperature slows down the reaction rate.
