Question

8. (07.05 LC)
Which statement is correct about the rate of most chemical reactions? (5 points)
1.It increases when the concentration of reactants decreases.
2.It does not depend on the concentration of reactants.
3.It increases when the temperature increases.
4.It does not depend on the temperature.

Answer 1

Answer: 3.It increases when the temperature increases.

Explanation:

The speed of most chemical reactions increase as if the temperature of those same reactions increase as well. This is because a higher temperature allows for reactants to gain the necessary activation energy needed to react.

Enzymes are another reason. Enzymes are catalysts in reactions which reduce the activation energy needed for a reaction to occur and enzymes work best in certain higher temperatures - not too high - so this also leads to the reaction speed increasing due to temperature increases.

Answer 2

Answer:

It increases when the temperature increases.

Explanation:

I took the test and the other guy is right ;)
