Step-by-step explanation:

Temperature has a direct relationship with reaction rate. The higher the temperature the faster the rate of reaction of a system.

  • For every 10°C rise in temperature above the room temperature, it has been found that reaction rates becomes double or triple.
  • When the temperature of a reacting system increases, the kinetic energy of each of the reacting particles increases.
  • The frequency of collision and effective collision also increases per unit of time.
  • Many of the reacting particles will acquire an energy greater than or equal to the activation energy of the reaction.
