Why does a higher temperature means the rate of reaction is faster?
As you increase the temperature of a system, the particles gain more kinetic energy and move about more. This means that particles are likely to collide more frequently. These collisions are also likely to have an energy which is high enough to overcome the activation energy of the reaction making more of these collisions successful.
