Question

As temperature increases, the rate of reaction

• A. decreases and increases
• B. decreases
• C. increases
• D. stays the same

Answer 1

The correct option is C increases

Temperature is an important factor which affects the rate of the reaction. The energy and speed of the molecules of reactant increases as the temperature increases. The number of molecules with threshold energy increase which increases the number of effective collisions. Hence the rate of the reaction increases with the increase in the temperature.
