    Increasing reaction temperature increased the kinetic energy in the system. In fact, the measurement oftemperature indirectly relates the relative amount of kinetic energy in a system.

    An increase in kinetic energy results in more rapid and forceful molecular collisions, thereby increasing the rate of molecular interactions (and in a fixed-volume system, the pressure increases as well!). Hence, the reaction can occur more quickly.
