What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?

Question:

What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?

Solution:

The rate constant of a reaction is nearly doubled with a 10° rise in temperature. However, the exact dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction on temperature is given by Arrhenius equation,

$k=\mathrm{Ae}^{-E \mathrm{a} / R T}$

Where,

A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor

T is the temperature

R is the gas constant

 

Ea is the activation energy
