Which change will decrease the number of effective collisions during a chemical reaction?

The correct option is this: DECREASING THE TEMPERATURE.

Explanation:

During the process of chemical reaction, the reacting molecules typically move about randomly in the reacting vessels colliding with one another and with the wall of the container. The rate of movement of the reacting particles can be reduced by decreasing the temperature of the reaction. If the temperature is reduced, the particles will lose kinetic energy and thus, they will move more slowly and collide less often with one another.

when the volume of gas is   changed from   717.73 ml   to 852 ml   the temperature will   change   from 315   c to 452   c

    calculation

this is calculated using the charles law formula

that is,   v1/t1 = v2/t2

          v1=?

        t1 = 315 c   into   kelvin = 315 +273 = 588 k

        v2 = 852   ml

        t2 = 425c + 273 =698 k

make v1   the subject of the formula ( by   multiplying both side by t1)

  v1=( v2 xt1) / t2

v1= (852 ml   x 588 k)/ 698 k= 717.73 ml
