Describe the effect in terms of particles and collisions the effect of increasing temperature on rate of reaction?

The rate of reaction will increase. Increased temperature causes the particles to move faster, increasing the number of collisions between the particles. More particles have energy exceeding the activation energy, and therefore more collisions result in successful reactions.
