Title: Would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction increase the time a molecular collision would take? Post by: smooch92 on Nov 19, 2012 Also, would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction cause the kinetic energy of the particles to decrease?
Title: Would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction increase the time a molecular collision would take? Post by: smokebomb13 on Nov 19, 2012 yes and yes
Title: Would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction increase the time a molecular collision would take? Post by: smokin7acehole on Nov 19, 2012 Increase in heat is inversely related to an decrease in reaction time.
Becuase when you increase heat you speed up the reaction and therefore the reaction takes less time. Title: Would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction increase the time a molecular collision would take? Post by: smokin7acehole on Nov 19, 2012 Lowering the temperature would decrease the number of collisions, and decrease the energy of each collision (thus answering your second question as yes) but the time of molecular collision--i.e., the duration of the collision?? This time is almost infinitesimally small; and the temperature has no real relevance on the duration of the collision -- so the answer to your first question is actually no; however, I am not sure if that is what you were truly asking.
Title: Would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction increase the time a molecular collision would take? Post by: firebolt on Nov 19, 2012 the second is the reason of the first
Title: Would lowering the temperature of a chemical reaction increase the time a molecular collision would take? Post by: firebolt on Nov 19, 2012 yes. because lowering the temperature means that the molecules would have less kinetic energy so they would not move around as much to cause collision between the molecules and the answer to your second question is yes.
