What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

With the increasee in temperature by `10^(@)`, the rate constant of a reaction is nearly doubled.
The Arrhenius equation explains the exact dependence of the rate constant on temperature.
The Arrhenius equation is represented as `:`
`k=Ae^(-Ea//Rt)`, where `E_(a)` is the energy of activation of the reaction, `A` is a constant called frequency factor for binary collision or is also pre`-` exponential factor , and `k` is the rate constant of a reaction.
