Temperature and Reaction Rate

State

A reaction's rate rises as temperature rises, since more reactant molecules gain enough energy to react as the sample warms.

Show

Refrigeration slows the reactions that spoil food, while a lab hot plate speeds up a slow reaction for observation.

Watch for

How much a given reaction speeds up per degree is specific to that reaction, not a fixed number every reaction shares.
