Raising the Temperature.
Raising the temperature has the same effect on all three reactions.
Raising the temperature makes the particles move faster.
This means that the particles collide more frequently with each other
and the rate of the reaction increases.
Also, the faster the particles
are traveling,
the greater is the proportion of them
which will have the required activation energy
for the reaction to occur.
As a general
guide, raising the temperature of a reaction by 10 °C
will double the rate of a reaction.
The gradient of the plot will be twice as
steep.
