8.              The kinetics of a reaction is studied at 25?C and at 50?C.  Which of the following statements is correct?

A)The rate of the reaction at 50?C will be lower than the rate at 25?C, since the molecules will be moving too fast to collide effectively.

B)The rate of the reaction at 50?C will be twice that of the rate at 25?C, since the temperature has doubled.

C)The rate of the reaction at 50?C will be greater than the rate at 25?C, since the activation energy will be lower at the higher temperature.

D)The rate of the reaction at 50?C will be greater than the rate at 25?C, since a greater fraction of the molecules will possess sufficient energy to react at the higher temperature.
