Question : 37 of 39
Marks: +1, -0
What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?
Solution:  
has been found that for a chemical reaction, with rise in temperatureby 10°, the rate constant is nearly doubled.
The temperature dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction can beaccurately explained by Arrhenius equation.
                                      k=Ae−EaRT\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;k=A e^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}
Where A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor. It is also calledpre-exponential factor. It is a constant specific to a particular reaction.R is gas constant and Ea_{a} is activation energy measured in joules/mole(J mol−1^{-1}).
