The reaction rate of virtually all reactions decreases with increasing temperature.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The reaction rate typically increases with increasing temperature due to an increase in the frequency and energy of collisions between reacting molecules. However, there may be cases where a reaction rate decreases with increasing temperature, such as in certain enzymatic reactions where the enzyme may become denatured at high temperatures.
