Question

When the temperature of a reaction system is increased by 10°C (from 25°C to 35°C), at constant volume, the reaction rate doubles. It is due to

Answer: B

💡 Solution & Explanation

While collision frequency only increases slightly (1-2%), the dominant factor causing the rate to double is the exponential increase in the fraction of molecules that possess kinetic energy equal to or exceeding the activation energy. Therefore, correct answer is B.
