Why does increasing the temperature of the reactants increase the rate of a chemical reaction?
Heat energy helps to lower the amount of overall energy that is required for the reaction to occur
Heat energy causes the particles of the reactants to move faster, and therefore react with each other more frequently
Heat energy causes some of the reactants to evaporate, increasing the concentration of the reactants
Heat energy increases the size of the molecules of reactants, and therefore the molecules react more frequently
