How does increasing the temperature affect the rate of a chemical reaction where all reactants are gases?
It increases the rate by causing more frequent and energetic collisions between molecules.
It has no effect on the rate as long as reactant concentrations remain constant.
It increases the rate by lowering the activation energy required for the reaction.
It decreases the rate by causing fewer but more energetic collisions between molecules.
