A student investigated the reaction between calcium carbonate chips and dilute hydrochloric acid.
CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) \text{CaCO}_3\text{(s)} + 2\text{HCl(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2\text{(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O(l)} + \text{CO}_2\text{(g)} CaCO3(s)+2HCl(aq)→CaCl2(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)The student repeated the experiment at a higher temperature and observed that the rate of reaction increased.
Explain, in terms of particles and collision theory, why the rate of reaction increases when the temperature is increased.
