The rate constant of a reaction depends on the __________________?

Correct answer: C. Temperature of the system

  • A. Initial concentration of reactants
  • B. Time of reaction
  • C. Temperature of the system
  • D. Extent of reaction

Explanation

The rate constant is primarily determined by temperature through the Arrhenius relation k = A exp(-Ea/RT). It does not depend on the initial concentration, reaction time, or extent of reaction for a given reaction and temperature.
