Chapter 14, Problem 14.88SP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for the temperature of a gas to be raised by $10°\text{C}$, if the collision frequency increases by only $2\%$, but the reaction rate by $100\%$ or more needs to be explianed.

Concept introduction:

The rate law for any reaction is written in the form as follows:

$R=k{\left[A\right]}^n$

Here, R is rate of the reaction, k is rate constant $\left[A\right]$ is concentration of reactant and n is order of the reaction.
