Q. Which increases on increase of temperature?

A) Energy of activation ($E_{a}$)
B) Collision frequency ($Z$)
C) Rate constant ($k$)
D) Both (a) and (c)
Explanation

(d)
The collision frequency $(Z)and\ rate\ contant(k)$ increase on increase of temperature. With the increase in temperature, the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases and this leads to an increase in number of collisions per unit time$\ (Z)$. The rate constant $(k)$ of a reaction is also increases with increase of temperature.
