Question
Why does an increase in temperature increase the rate of a reaction?(1 point) Responses The speed of the particles increases, so there are more collisions. The speed of the particles increases, so there are more collisions. More molecules means more possible collisions. More molecules means more possible collisions. The speed of the particles, decreases, so they collide with less force. The speed of the particles, decreases, so they collide with less force. More molecules means better orientations for collisions.

The correct response is: **The speed of the particles increases, so there are more collisions.**
An increase in temperature results in an increase in the kinetic energy of the molecules, leading to faster movement. This greater speed results in more frequent collisions between reactant molecules, which increases the likelihood of reactions occurring.
