Chemical Kinetics Ques 42

42. An increase in the concentration of the reactants of a reaction leads to change in

[2020]

(a) heat of reaction

(b) threshold energy

(c) collision frequency

(d) activation energy

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: 42.(c)

Solution:

(c) The number of collisions per second per unit volume of the reaction mixture is known as collision frequency $(Z)$. collision frequency $\propto$ no. of reacting molecules or atoms. Higher the concentration of reactant molecules higher is the probability of collision and so the collision frequency.
