Which of the following factors influences the rate of an organic reaction?
A
Color of the reactants
B
Shape of the reaction vessel
C
Temperature
D
Volume of the container
Verified step by step guidance1
Identify the factors listed in the problem: color of the reactants, shape of the reaction vessel, temperature, and volume of the container.
Understand that the rate of an organic reaction is influenced by factors that affect the energy and frequency of collisions between reactant molecules.
Recognize that temperature is a key factor because it affects the kinetic energy of molecules. Higher temperatures increase the energy and frequency of collisions, thus increasing the reaction rate.
Consider why the other factors (color of the reactants, shape of the reaction vessel, volume of the container) do not directly influence the reaction rate. These factors do not affect the molecular interactions or energy levels involved in the reaction.
Conclude that temperature is the correct factor influencing the rate of an organic reaction, as it directly impacts the kinetic energy and collision frequency of reactant molecules.
