प्रश्न
Explain how and why will the rate of reaction for a given reaction be affected when the temperature at which the reaction was taking place is decreased.

उत्तर
The rate of reaction will decrease. At lower temperatures, the kinetic energy of molecules decreases thereby the collisions decrease resulting in a lowering of the rate of reaction.
