Q

explain the effect of temperature on chemical reactions

A

Increasing the temperature means the particles have more energy
so they move faster this means there is a greater number of collisions per unit time
each particle has more energy so more can now overcome the activation energy barrier and collide successfully
so the rate of reaction will increase

RATE OF REACTION IS PROPORTIONAL TO TEMPERATURE
