b) — increasing temperature increases the rate constant (k).
: Increasing temperature flattens and shifts the curve to the right. b) — increasing temperature increases the rate constant
(more variability in speeds). The total area under the curve remains constant if the number of moles is unchanged. Mass Effects the average kinetic energy doubles. However
The lighter molecules (Cl atoms) have a higher fraction exceeding any given velocity. b) — increasing temperature increases the rate constant
If you double the temperature from 300K to 600K, the average kinetic energy doubles. However, the reaction rate often increases by a factor of 2 to 4 (for every 10°C). Using the M-B distribution, explain why a doubling of temperature leads to a much larger increase in reaction rate.
