Which molecules are more likely in the course of a collision to reach the transition state and overcome the activation energy barrier to form products - those that have a violent collision (high velocities and kinetic energies) OR those that have a gentle collision (low velocities and kinetic energies)? Explain your reasoning. Is a violent collision more likely to occur at lower temperatures or higher temperatures? The rate of a chemical reaction approximately doubles for every 10°C rise in temperature. Explain this phenomenon and what you think is happening. (Hint : think about what effect increasing temperature has on the individual molecules.)

The chemical reaction shown is exothermic. CH4 + N2 + H2 → CH3N + NH3 Which statement about the reaction is correct? The total chemical potential energy of the reactants is greater than the total chemical potential energy of the products. More chemical potential energy is stored in the bonds of CH4 than in the bonds of CH3N. Each reactant has more chemical potential energy than each product. It takes more energy to form C–H bonds in the reactants than is released from C–H bonds in the products.
