As temperature increases, reacting particles acquire more kinetic energy and move faster.

Collision Theory
Increased particle speed leads to a higher frequency of collisions and a larger fraction of collisions with sufficient energy to overcome the activation energy barrier.

Control Variable
The factor(s) that must be kept the same throughout an experiment to ensure a fair test.
4
New cards
Independent Variable
The factor that is deliberately changed by the experimenter during an investigation.
5
New cards
Dependent Variable
The factor that is measured as the outcome of an experiment.
