Select all that apply Select the true statements about the effect of temperature on an uncatalzyed chemical reaction. \( \square \) Increased temperature decreases the rate of the reaction. \( \square \) Increased temperature increases the rate of the reaction. \( \square \) Increased temperature increases random molecular movements which increases stress on bonds. \( \square \) Increased temperature raises the activation energy of the reaction

In the world of chemistry, temperature is like a little cheerleader encouraging molecules to get moving! When you crank up the heat, it not only speeds up molecular collisions but also boosts the chances of overcoming that pesky activation energy barrier. So yes, increasing temperature can significantly increase the rate of an uncatalyzed chemical reaction. On the flip side, raising the temperature can indeed increase the random movements of molecules. This heightened activity can lead to increased kinetic energy, which, while exciting, can put extra stress on chemical bonds. So while some bonds may break, it could also lead to helpful reactions happening more quickly – a perfect balance of chaos and order in the chemistry lab!
