Consider two gases, A and B, which are in a container at room temperature. What effect will the following changes have on the rate of the reaction between these gases? The temperature is decreased at a constant volume.

A. Increase
B. Decrease

A. The rate of reaction will increase or go up

B. The rate of reaction will decrase or go down.

Explanation:

Increasing the temperature will make the gas particles move faster. Faster movement will increase rate of collision between particles to cause a reaction. Decreasing the temperature will cause the opposite to happen.

vanderwaal's forces of attraction are the electrostatic intermolecular forces that exist in a molecule due to the temporary or permanent dipoles that are developed in a molecule. in , the major intermolecular forces are dipole-dipole interactions as the molecule is polar (bent structure). so the vanderwaal's forces of interaction in between molecules are the permanent dipole-dipole interactions that develop due to the dipole that exists in between the polar h - s bond. the positively charged hydrogen atom is attracted towards the negative end of the dipole that is sulfur of the adjacent molecule. therefore, these forces of attraction are relatively stronger than that of london dispersion forces that exist in non polar molecules.
