ANSWER:
Answer :
Step 1
The two molecules can react only when they have enough energy which we call activation energy .when we heat the system average energy levels of the molecules involved in the reaction increases .
Due to increase in energy ,molecules move faster and have more energetic collision hence number of effective collisions that can overcome the activation energy required for chemical reaction increases which increase the rate of reaction .
