Assertion (A) : If the activation energy of a reaction is zero, temperature will have no effect on the rate constant. Reason (R ): Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.

The rate constant of most of the reaction increases with increase in temperature. According to the Arrhenius equation, k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) . The curve of rate constant 'k' against temperature 'T' will be.

The rate of reaction ((dx)/(dt)) varies with nature, physical state and concentration of reactants, temperature, exposure to light and catalyst, whereas rate constant (K) varies with temperature and catalyst only. The rate constant K is given as K=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where A is Arrhenius parameter or pre-exponential factor and E_(a) is energy of activation. The minimum energy required for a reaction is called threshold energy and the additional energy required by reactant molecules to attain threshold energy level is called energy of activation. The quantity -E_(a)//RT in -Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) is referred as:
