The basic postulate of collision theory is that the rate of a reaction is proportional to the number of effective collisions per second among the reactant molecules. In order to have an effective collision, the reacting molecules must O both be oriented properly and possess a minimum molecular kinetic energy. O both possess a minimum molecular kinetic energy, independent of the orientation. O be oriented properly, independent of the energies of the colliding molecules. O form a stable activated complex, one with strong covalent bonds.

What are the fundamental factors that determine the rate of a chemical reaction and how do they interact to influence reaction kinetics?
Write the following reaction mechanism
Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the fraction of the reacting species that collide with energies equal to or greater than the free energy/activation energy. Another factor that can affect whether or not molecules react is their orientation/bond length toward one another when they collide. Molecules with incorrect bond lengths/orientations will not react even if they successfully collide.
At what point on a Potential Energy curve would you find the energy needed for an effective collision?
The yeast in bread dough feeds on sugar to produce carbon dioxide. Why does the dough rise faster in a warmer area? O The activation energy has been increased. O There are a greater number of effective collisions among reacting molecules at the higher temperature than at the lower temperature. O Atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing temperature.
