How to answer questions about reaction rates.

Target Language or Knowledge:

Explain how increasing the temperature will make the reaction between magnesium carbonate and nitric acid faster. Link your answer to rates of reaction and particle collisions. To get achieved try this:
Increasing temperature causes more _frequent_ collisions OR particles have more energy/move _faster_ OR particles have _less_ energy move slower • Reaction occurs when particles _collide_ successfully. OR More (successful) collisions _per_ _second_ cause a faster rate of reaction .
Explain how increasing the temperature will make the reaction between magnesium carbonate and nitric acid faster. Link your answer to rates of reaction and particle collisions. This is for merit.
The _higher_ the temperature, the more frequent collisions which are due to higher _speed_ of particles. OR The more _frequent_ collisions are due to greater _energy_ or force for reaction. OR The less _frequent_ collisions are due to _less_ energy or force for reaction.
Explain how increasing the temperature will make the reaction between magnesium carbonate and nitric acid faster. Link your answer to rates of reaction and particle collisions. This is the best answer
As the temperature of the nitric acid _increases,_ the particles move faster and have _more_ _kinetic_ energy. There are more _collisions_ per second between the acid and the carbonate particles due to _higher_ speed, and more of these collisions have enough _energy_ to cause a _reaction._ Therefore, increasing the temperature will cause more _successful_ collisions _per_ second, and the reaction will occur faster.
