Which curve in the diagram above represents the reaction occurring at a higher temperature?

• blue curve

• green curve

• purple curve

Answer explanation

The area under the each curve represents successful collions resulting in the breaking of reactant bonds. The purple has the greatest area under its curve telling us that more successful collisions occur at higher temperatures.
