Interpretation:
On the basis of collision theory, the reason for the reactions to occur more slowly at a lower temperature, need to be explained.
Concept introduction:
Due to the change in temperature, the reaction rate is also affected.
Answer to Problem 3RQ
The reaction rate occurs slowly at the low temperature because by decreasing the temperature, the molecules of the reactants move slower and so the number of collisions is also decreased. Due to which the reaction occurs slowly.
Explanation of Solution
To carry out a
The reaction occurs slowly at a low temperature because the number of collisions is decreased.
