Temperature Effects on Chemical Reactions

Click on the flashcard to see the answer

How does temperature affect the rate of chemical reactions?

Increasing the temperature generally increases the reaction rate by providing more energy to the reacting molecules.

What is the Arrhenius equation?

The Arrhenius equation is a formula that expresses the temperature dependence of reaction rates: k = Ae^(-Ea/RT).

What role does activation energy play in reaction rate with temperature changes?

Activation energy is the minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur, influencing how temperature changes affect reaction rates.
