Interpretation: The explanation for whether the given two statements is true or false; also, tell whether statement II is a correct explanation for statement I is to be stated.
Statement I: The rate of a
Statement II: The kinetic energy of particles is related to the temperature.
Concept Introduction: According to the collision theory, product formation will only occur if there is proper orientation and effective collision between the molecules.
Answer to Problem 8STP
Yes, statement I is true and statement II is the correct explanation for statement I.
Explanation of Solution
The increase in temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules due to which a greater number of molecules possesses a minimum energy for the effective collision to occur. Thus, it is said that the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by temperature.
Therefore, statement I is true and statement II is the correct explanation for statement I.
