Effect of Temperature on rate of reaction.

Question 1

What is the activation energy?

Answer 1

• ## Minimum amount of energy that is required for the particles in order to react successfully/collide.

Question 2

What does increasing the temperature do on the rate of reaction?

Answer 2

• Increases the rate of reaction= Increases the energy of the particles.
• This means that they move faster and increases the frequency of collisions and each collision has more energy so more particles can overcome the activation barrier.
• Proportionate to the temperature.
