An increase of 10 K in temp. rarely doubles the kinetic energy of particles but doubles the rate of reaction, why?

1 Answer

Answer :

When temp. is increased 10 K , kinetic energy of molecules increases, no. of molecules possessing activation energy become double, therefore no. of effective collision doubles hence rate of reaction.
