Rate of reaction increases by increasing temperature because:
Correct answer: D. All of these
- A. The concentration of the reaction increases
- B. The activation energy for reaction remains same
- C. Collision frequency increases
- D. All of these
Explanation
When we increase the temperature, the rate of reaction typically increases because the concentration of reactants increases and the collision frequency between particles increases. Additionally, the higher temperature also helps to increase the kinetic energy of particles, which can overcome the activation energy barrier more easily.

About Reaction Kinetics
Reaction kinetics relates reaction rate to concentration, temperature, surface area and catalysts. Questions cover rate laws, reaction order, rate constants, activation energy and the activated complex, including how a catalyst lowers the activation energy without changing the overall energy change or equilibrium position.
