The rate of gas phase chemical reactions generally increases rapidly with a rise in temperature. This is mainly because
- Athe collision frequency increases with temperature
- Bthe fraction of molecules having energy in excess of the activation energy increases with temperature
- Cthe activation energy decreases with temperature
- Dthe average kinetic energy of molecules increases with temperature
