The rate constant of a chemical reaction increases by increasing the______________________?
Correct answer: C. Temperature
- A. Reactant's concentration
- B. Pressure
- C. Temperature
- D. None of these
Explanation
For a given reaction, the rate constant generally increases with temperature because more molecules can overcome the activation-energy barrier. Changing concentration changes the reaction rate, not normally the rate constant.
