22.

Why does increasing the temperature of the reactants increase the rate of a chemical
reaction?

A.

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