NEET Chemistry Rate of Reaction Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The rate of a chemical reaction increases with an increase in temperature. | Reason (R): The frequency factor A in the Arrhenius equation increases with temperature.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
A is true but R is false.
A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The rate of a chemical reaction increases with an increase in temperature because more molecules have higher energies, not because the frequency factor A increases. A is constant for a given reaction.
