In general, what is the relationship between temperature and the rate for a chemical reaction?

The rate increases exponentially as the temperature increases.
Explanation:
When we increase the temperature of one of the reactants in a chemical reaction, this increases the particles kinetic energy, making them move much faster than they were before.
This also increases the chance of a more successful collision and the rate of reaction.
#"rate constant" = Ae^((-E_a)/(RT)#
