10.

Liz observes 2 reactions, A and B.


Reaction A is performed in a beaker placed on top of a hotplate.


Reaction B is is performed in a beaker placed within a container of ice.


Which of the following statements is true?

a)

Reaction A will react slower because the higher temperature will cause more collisions because the heat makes the molecules tired.

b)

Reaction A will react slower because the higher temperature will cause give the reactants higher speed and kinetic energy.

c)

Reaction B will react faster because the lower temperature causes the particles to move slower, allowing them to have more time to attach to one another.

d)

Reaction B will react slower because the lower temperature makes the particles move slower, resulting in less collisions.
