the rate of chemical reactions decreases as temperature is raised. true or false
False, the rate of chemical reactions is increased due to the higher level of kinetic energy presentÂ
Answer:
False
Explanation:
For most reactions, raising the temperature leads to a faster reaction/higher rate of reaction. This is because a higher temperature means that the reactant particles have a higher average kinetic energy meaning more of them have enough activation energy needed to partake in a successful collision. Not only that because they have a higher average kinetic energy they are moving faster meaning more chances of collisions
