Question

What will we effect of temperature on rate constant?

Answer 1

Dear Student,

The rate constant of a reaction is nearly doubled with a 10^o rise in temperature. However, the exact dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction on temperature is given by Arrhenius equation,

k = A. e^-Ea/RT

where,
A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor.
T is the temperature
R in the universal gas constant
Ea is the activation energy

Hence with increase in temperature the rate constant of the reaction increases.
