Increasing the temperature of a reaction generally increases the reaction rate. Which aspect of collision theory best explains this observation?
Increased temperature reduces the activation energy of the reaction.
Increased temperature changes the orientation of the colliding molecules.
Increased temperature decreases the frequency of collisions between molecules.
Increased kinetic energy of molecules leads to more collisions exceeding the activation energy.
