Account for the relationship between the rate of a reaction and its activation energy, and the relationship between the rate of the reaction and the reaction temperature. Group of answer choices The rate of reaction will increase as the activation energy decreases; the rate of reaction will increase as the reaction temperature increases. The rate of reaction will increase as the activation energy decreases; the rate of reaction will remain the same as the reaction temperature increases. The rate of reaction will increase as the activation energy increases; the rate of reaction will increase as the reaction temperature increases. The rate of reaction will remain the same as the activation energy decreases; the rate of reaction will increase as the reaction temperature increases. The rate of reaction will increase as the activation energy decreases; the rate of reaction will decrease as the reaction temperature increases.
In an all gas phase reaction, the size of the reaction flask was increased. What happens to the rate of reaction? a) rate will increase b) rate will decrease c) rate will stay the same
Generally, increasing the temperature increases the rate of a reaction. This is because: O increasing the temperature increases the frequency of collisions O increasing the temperature increases the average energy of the collisions and increases the frequency of collisions O increasing the temperature lowers the activation energy of the reaction increasing the temperature increases the average energy of the collisions.

As the temperature of a reaction is increased, the rate of the reaction increases because the: a) reactant molecules collide less frequently. b) reactant molecules collide with greater energy. c) reactant molecules collide less frequently and with greater energy. d) activation energy is lowered. e) activation energy is increased because of more collisions.
Collision theory assumes the rate of a reaction depends on a) the energy of collisions. b) the orientation of colliding molecules. Oc) the change in energy between the products and the reactants. d) the change in free energy between the reactants and the products. e) the energy of collisions and the orientation of colliding molecules.
