A student runs an experiment to decompose hydrogen peroxide to produce oxygen and water. Increasing the temperature of hydrogen peroxide increases the rate of reaction. Explain why.

When the hydrogen peroxide is heated, the particles have more energy so move faster. This means that they will collide more often, increasing the likelihood of successful collisions. More successful collisions increase the rate of reaction.
