Why does the rate of a reaction increase with a rise in temperature?

  • A
    The number of collisions increases.
  • B
    The activation energy decreases.
  • C
    $A$ larger fraction of molecules possess energy greater than the activation energy.
  • D
    The frequency of effective collisions increases due to higher kinetic energy.

The rate constant is given by the equation $k = p Z e^{-E_a/RT}$. Which factor should register a decrease for the reaction to proceed more rapidly?

The rate of the process doubles with every $10 \ K$ increase in temperature. When the temperature is increased from $303 \ K$ to $353 \ K$,how much will the rate of the process increase?

Consider the following statements related to the temperature dependence of rate constants. Identify the correct statements:
$A.$ The Arrhenius equation holds true only for an elementary homogeneous reaction.
$B.$ The unit of $A$ is the same as that of $k$ in the Arrhenius equation.
$C.$ At a given temperature,a low activation energy means a fast reaction.
$D.$ $A$ and $E_a$ as used in the Arrhenius equation depend on temperature.
$E.$ When $E_a > RT$,$A$ and $E_a$ become interdependent.
