Chapter 8, Problem 8.22E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The two ways by which an increase in temperature increases a reaction rate are to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The path of a reaction can be explained on the basis of molecular collisions. Most of the reaction mechanisms are based on three assumptions which are given below as,

• Molecules must collide with one another in a reaction.

• The collisions must involve a certain minimum amount of energy.

• The orientation of molecules must be proper in order to react.
