The rate constant of a reaction is a function of the ___________________?

Correct answer: B. Temperature of the system

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

Explanation

The Arrhenius relation, k=A exp(-E/RT), shows that the rate constant is primarily dependent on temperature for a given reaction. It is not determined by reaction time, extent, or initial reactant concentration.
