Temperature and Concentration Effects on Rate
Analyze how changes in temperature and concentration influence reaction rates, including collision theory explanations.
Why this shows up in the exam
You will need to predict and explain the effects of temperature and concentration changes on reaction rates in both exams.
How NEET tests this
Practise it
These are real questions from past NEET papers that test this exact idea.
In a zero-order reaction, for every 10 °C rise of temperature, the rate is doubled. If the temperature is increased from 10 °C to 100 °C, the rate of the reaction will become
Push further
More challenging4 harder questions built from the past papers above — a step up in difficulty, with distractors designed so you can't get there by elimination. Written and checked by our reviewers, not from a real paper.
A chemical reaction proceeds such that its rate becomes 2.5 times for every 5 °C increase in temperature. If the temperature is raised from 15 °C to 40 °C, what will be the approximate factor by which the reaction rate increases?
