The activation energy of a reaction is zero. Will the rate constant of the reaction depend upon temperature ? Give reason.

The activation energy of a reaction is zero. Its rate constant at 280 K is 16 xx 10^(-6) s^(-1) the rate constant at 300k is

Can activation energy for reactions be zero?

Arrhenius studies the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulted that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(E_(a)//RT) . Thuis method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied. If the rate of reaction doubles for 10^(@)C rise of temperature form 290K to 300K, the activation energy of the reaction will be approximately :
