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.
