Sulphur dichlorine oxide dissociates according to the following equation: SO₂Cl₂(g) → SO₂(g) + Cl₂(g). The data in Table 1 was obtained from a kinetic study of the variation in the rate of dissociation of SO₂Cl₂ with concentration at a constant temperature.

State and explain the effect on the rate of dissociation of SO₂Cl₂, of carrying out the experiment at a higher temperature.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
