Question : 20
Total: 35
What happens to the rate constant k and activation energy E a as the temperature of a chemical reaction is increased? Justify.
Solution: 👈: Video Solution
Rate constant increases with the increase in temperature because rate of the reaction increases. The rate of the reaction becomes doubled after every ten degree rise in temperature.
The activation energy also increases with increase in temperature because kinetic energy of the molecules increases their colliding frequency will be very high and activation energy increases.
