What happens on the molecular level when you increase the temperature of the reaction?
*
the product particles increase in force which pushes the reaction backwards
more temperature means more molecules can fit in there
the reactant particles' speed increases so there are more collisions and increase force
the hotter the system is, the better the molecules can hold their orientation
1 answer
Overall, increasing the temperature of a reaction causes the reactant particles to move faster and collide more frequently, leading to an increase in the rate of reaction. Additionally, the increase in temperature can also provide the particles with more energy, allowing them to overcome the activation energy barrier more easily and facilitating the formation of product molecules.
