Question

What happen with the rate of the reaction when the frequency and the number of effective collisions between reacting particles increases?

• A. Increases
• B. Decreases
• C. Remains the same
• D. Approaches zero
• E. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Increases

The atoms, ions and molecules can react to form products when they collide with enough kinetic energy and at favorable orientation. On increasing the frequency and the number of effective collisions between reacting particles increases the chance of reactants to come together to form a product that results in the increase of rate of the reaction.
