प्रश्न
What happens to most probable kinetic energy and the energy of activation with increase in temperature?
Advertisements
उत्तर


When the temperature is raised’ the maxima of the curve moves to the higher energy value and the curve broadens out so that there is a greater proportion of the molecules with much higher energies. Most probable kinetic energy increases with increase in temperature. As the temperature increases, activation energy decreases which will result in the increase in the rate of reaction.
