How Temperature Affects Rate of Reaction Flashcards
What effect does an increase in temperature usually have an rate of reaction?
An increase in temperature usually brings about an increase in reaction rate
Does a decrease or an increase in temperature bring about an increase in reaction rate?
An increase in temperature
What effect does a decrease in temperature have on rate of reaction?
It usually brings about a decrease in reaction rate
Give an example of a reaction which is slowed down by low temperatures.
The biochemical reactions which take place in microorganisms are slowed down in low temperatures of below 5 degrees Celsius
Does a decrease or an increase in temperature bring about a decrease in rate of reaction?
A decrease in temperature usually brings about a decrease in rate of reaction
