Which mechanism causes endothermic reaction rate to initially increase with rising temperature?

💡 Explanation

When temperature rises, effective kinetic energy increases exponentially based on the Boltzmann distribution, giving a larger fraction of molecules the activation energy needed to overcome the reaction barrier. Therefore reaction rate increases, rather than increased vibration, lattice strain change, or catalyst deactivation which require different specific physical conditions.
