What will happen to the number of effective collisions as temperature or concentration increase? Why?

Answer 1

It can be predicted that an increase in temperature or concentration will increase the number of effective collisions.

There is a direct relationship between rising temperatures and rising average kinetic energy.

The average force that molecules will collide with increases with average kinetic energy, increasing the likelihood that the collisions will cause molecules to break apart and recombine to form products.

This implies that there will be a rise in the quantity of actual collisions.

The likelihood that a collision will occur at the proper angle and geometric form for it to be effective increases with concentration because there will be more collisions overall.

There are also more effective collisions as a result of this.

Increasing temperature or concentration increases the number of effective collisions because particles gain energy and move faster, leading to more frequent and forceful collisions.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
