Effect of Temperature

substance heated =

thermal energy transferred to is

-converted to kinetic

-molecules of substance move faster and further

increased movement of molecules =

collisions occur more often with greater energy = reaction occurs

increasing temperature = increasing rate of reaction as

more collisions of greater energy occur in a given time

increase in temperature = maxwell boltzmann distribution shifts:

right

-greater proportion of molecules have energy greater than or equal to activation energy

Maxwell Boltzmann - increase in temperature
