According to the Arrhenius equation,
- A high activation energy usually implies a fast reaction
- Rate constant increase with increase in temperature. This is due to a greater number of collisions whose energy exceeds the activation energy
- Higher the magnitude of activation energy, stronger is the temperature dependence of the rate constant
- The pre-exponential factor is a measure of the rate at which collisions occur, irrespective of their energy.
Solution
High means less k, hence slower rate.
B] = fraction of molecules having kinetic energy greater than activation energy which increase as temperature increases.
C] ln i.e., ln
D] Rate of reaction Total number of collisions × Fraction of collisions which can form product
Rate of reaction
