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.
