According to Arrhenius equation of temperature dependency of rate constant for an elementary reaction _________________?
Correct answer: B. k ∝ e-E/RT
- A. k ∝ √T
- B. k ∝ e-E/RT
- C. k ∝ T e-E/RT
- D. None of these
Explanation
Arrhenius behavior is k = A exp(-E/RT), so the temperature-dependent part is proportional to exp(-E/RT). The factor A is the pre-exponential constant and is omitted when expressing the proportionality.
