Problem

For a bimolecular gas-phase reaction, the collision frequency is directly proportional to the average molecular speed, which in turn is proportional to T\sqrt{T}, where TT is the absolute temperature. If the temperature of the reacting gases is raised from 300 K to 360 K, the collision frequency is expected to increase by approximately (a) 5%5\% (b) 0%0\% (c) 10%10\% (d) 20%20\%
