Please explain tihs. Share with your friends Share 0 Malvika Tripathi answered this Dear user,This can be explained with the help of Arrhenius equation.Arrhenius' equation gives the dependence of the rate constant k of a chemical reaction on the absolute temperature T (in kelvins),where A is the pre-exponential factor (or simply the prefactor), Ea is the activation energy, and R is the universal gas constant.k=Ae(-Ea/RT)The temperature varies according to this equation.Now,Common sense and chemical intuition suggest that the higher the temperature, the faster a given chemical reaction will proceed. Quantitatively this relationship between the rate a reaction proceeds and its temperature is determined by the Arrhenius Equation. At higher temperatures, the probability that two molecules will collide is higher. This higher collision rate results in a higher kinetic energy, which has an effect on the activation energy of the reaction. The activation energy is the amount of energy required to ensure that a reaction happens. 0 View Full Answer
