Determine whether the following statement about reaction rates is true or false. If the statement is false, select the reason why? Increasing the temperature of a reaction system decreases the activation energy of the reaction.

False

Explanation:

Reaction rates is a field under chemical kinetics that deals with the measure of speed of a chemical reaction. It is the change in the concentration of a reactant or product per unit time.

Activation Energy is a theory been  put forward to explain why different chemical reactions proceed at different rates.

Activation Energy theory postulates that for a reactant to transform into a product , the colliding particles or molecules of the reactant must possess a certain amount of energy so as to overcome the reaction barrier.

An important factor which may influence the attainment of activation energy by colliding particles of reactants is the temperature at which the reaction is carried out. The higher the temperature, the  greater is the fraction of the reactant particles which possess the activation energy and thus the faster the reaction becomes. SO , in essence increasing the temperature of a reaction system do not decreases the activation energy of the reaction but rather also increases  the activation energy of the reaction.

because of all the things that happen around the us, many people get into arguments which sadly could get physical, but we should actually make a change for that.
