Rate constant increases exponentially with increasing activation energy and decreasing temperature.
Rate constant decreases exponentially with increasing activation energy and decreasing temperature.
Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and decreasing temperature.
Rate constant increases exponentially with decreasing activation energy and increasing temperature.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
On increasing temperature and decreasing activation energy, Eₐ/RT term overall decreases thus, –Eₐ/RT term increases and rate constant increases exponentially.
