The temperature dependence of reaction rate constant (K) by Arrhenius law is given by_______________?
Correct answer: A. K α e-E/RT
- A. K α e-E/RT
- B. K α eE/RT
- C. K α T . e-E/RT
- D. K α √T . e-E/RT
Explanation
Arrhenius behaviour is k = A exp(-E/RT), so the rate constant increases with temperature because the negative exponent becomes less negative. The pre-exponential factor A is omitted in the proportional form.
