Question

What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?

Answer 1

Effect of temperature on rate constant

Arrhenius equation depicts the relation between temperature and rate constant.
It is given as -
$k=A{e}^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}$
where,
$A=$ Arrhenius factor
$E_a$ = Activation energy
$R=$ gas constant
$T=$ temperature
From Arrhenius equation, as the temperature
increases, rate constant also increases. It
becomes nearly double when temperature
increases from $T$ to $T+10{(}^{\circ }C)$.

Final answer:

The rate constant of the reaction is nearly
doubled on increasing temperature by ${10}^{\circ }$ .
