Which of the Following Is the Primary Reason for a Higher

question 9

Multiple Choice

Which of the following is the primary reason for a higher reaction rate at higher temperatures?

• A)Molecules move faster at higher temperatures, producing more violent collisions
• B)Electrons occupy higher principal energy levels and are therefore more reactive
• C)There is a larger fraction of molecules with sufficient energy to react
• D)Molecules increase in size with increasing temperature, providing more surface area for potential collisions
• E)The higher temperature creates a lower activation energy, so more molecules can pass over the potential energy barrier
