Increasing the temperature of a reaction causes the
A) reactants to move faster.
B) reactants to collide more frequently.
C) reactants to collide with more energy.
D) rate of reaction to increase.
E) All of the above result from increasing the temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the kinetic energy of the reactants, causing them to move faster (A), collide more frequently (B), and collide with more energy (C). These factors collectively lead to an increase in the rate of reaction (D), making all of the statements correct.
