Consider the combustion of methane in oxygen (a reaction we'veseen when we've lit soap bubbles on fire), which is a highlyexothermic reaction.
True or False - Once the activation energy has been reached,increasing the temperature will have no effect on the rate of thereaction.
True or False - A mixture of methane and oxygen can be kept in thesame container indefinitely at room temperature with no changebecause there are no collisions taking place between themolecules.
True or False - Once the activation energy has been reachedincreasing the concentration of methane and oxygen will increasethe rate of the reaction.
True or False - A successful collision (one that leads to thecombustion of methane) will have sufficient energy and anyorientation between molecules.
