Chapter 16, Problem 16.54P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Out of the given two reactions, the one that will proceed at a higher rate at ${\text{50}}^{\text{o}}\text{C}$ has to be explained.

Concept Introduction:

• The collision theory explains about the collisions that takes place between the molecules and results in the formation of a new chemical product.
• The rate of the chemical reaction depends on the number of effective collisions that takes place between the reactant molecules.
• There are many factors included in the collision theory that determines the formation of product.
