Increase in temperature of the reactants can do one of the following

• Slow collision frequency

• Allow less effective collision between the particles

• Cause particles to lose speed

• Increase collision between the particles thus increasing the rate.

Why does a higher temperature increase the rate of a reaction?

• it increases both the frequency and energy of particle collisions

• it only increases the frequency of particle collisions

• it only increases the energy of particle collisions

• it reduces the activation energy of the reaction
