Which of the following statements is in accordance with the Arrhenius equation?

Options

A. Rate of a reaction increases with increase in temperature.
B. Rate of reaction does not change with increase in activation energy.
C. Rate constant decreases exponentially with increase in temperature.
D. Rate of a reaction increases with decrease in activation energy

Answer

A, D

Explanation

According to Arrhenius equation, `k = Ae^(-E_(a)// RT)` On increasing temperature and decreasing activation energy (`E_(a)`), rate of reaction increases.
