7. Why does a higher temperature cause a reaction to go faster?

Either there are more collisions per second or the collisions are of greater energy.

There are more collisions per second and the collisions are of greater energy.

Collisions occur with greater energy only.

    There are more collisions per second and the collisions are of greater energy

    Explanation:

    As the temperature increases, the particles move faster and start colliding more frequently which causes a reaction to go faster. The particles should collide with sufficient energy for the reaction to occur. This sufficient energy for the reaction to occur is known as the activation energy for the reaction.

    So, a higher temperature causes a reaction to go faster as there are more collisions per second and the collisions are of greater energy.
