4.7 What is the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a reaction? How can this effect of temperature on rate constant be represented quantitatively?
The rate constant is nearly double when there is a 10-degree rise in temperature in a chemical reaction.
effect of temperature on rate constant be represented quantitatively by Arrhenius equation,
where k is rate constant
A is Arrhenius factor
R is gas constant
T is temperature and
is the activation energy
