The rate of reactions exhibiting negative activation energy

A

Decreases with increasing temperature

B

Increases with increasing temperature

C

Does not depend on temperature

D

Depends on the height of the potential barrier

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`k=A.e^(-E_(a)//RT)`
If `E_(a)lt0` then on increasing temperature T value of `-E_(a)//RT` will decrease so the value of rate constant K will also decrease .

Can a reaction have negative or zero activation energy ?

The rate of reaction increases with increase in activation energy.

A : If temperature does not affect the rate of reaction , E_a=0 R : Lesser the activation energy, slower will be the reaction.

A : A positive catalyst increases the rate of reaction . R : A positive catalyst alters reaction mechanism and decreases activation energy.
