The rate of a chemical reaction is determined by:

A) The initial concentration of reactants

Rate of reaction is directly proportional to the temperature i.e when temperature is high,the reaction rate is high as well and vice versa.

C) The activation energy of the reaction

D) The number of products formed

❄The rate of a chemical reaction is primarily determined by:

$\large{\underline {\sf{ \purple{Explanation}}}} :$

The temperature of a chemical reaction directly affects the rate of reaction because it influences the kinetic energy of the particles involved. When the temperature is increased, the kinetic energy of the particles also increases. This leads to more frequent and energetic collisions between the reactant molecules, which in turn increases the likelihood of successful collisions leading to the formation of products. In other words, higher temperature speeds up the movement and interaction of particles, resulting in a faster rate of reaction.
