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.
