Question

Explain the effect of temperature and concentration on the velocity of a reaction.

Hint:

Use the Arrhenius equation to analyze how temperature affects the reaction rate, and apply the rate law for concentration effects.

Answer 1

- Temperature:
Increasing the temperature increases the reaction rate by providing reactants with more kinetic energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.
- Concentration:
Higher reactant concentration leads to more frequent collisions, increasing the reaction rate according to the rate law.
