What is the difference between exergonic and exothermic? What is the difference between intermediate and transition state? What is the relation between activation energy and the rate of a reaction?
Increasing the temperature of a reaction increases the speed at which the reaction occurs. Identify the statements that explain the correlation between the increase in temperature and the increase in reaction rate. More atom-atom stretching and bending within the molecules occurs at higher temperatures, which creates more reactive molecular configurations. Added heat decreases the activation energy of a reaction and has a similar effect as adding a catalyst. ✔ Molecules at higher temperatures have greater kinetic energy, which results in more frequent and higher energy collisions. An increased temperature improves the reaction pathway by decreasing the energy difference between reactants and products.
(a) Select all of the correct statements about reaction rates from the choices below. The lower the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. Solid catalysts increase reaction rates as their surface areas increase. Catalysts decrease reaction rates. Reaction rate constants decrease with increasing temperature. The higher the rate of a reaction the longer it takes to reach completion. O Reaction rates always increase as masses of solid reactants increase. Reaction rates decrease with increasing temperature.
When the concentrations of reactant molecules are increased, the rate of reaction increases. The best explanation for this is that as the reactant concentration increases, the activation energy increases. the frequency of molecular collisions increases. the average kinetic energy of molecules increases. the rate constant increases.
