Define the rate constant. What are the factors which influence the rate constant of a chemical reaction? |
|
Answer» (A) Rate constant : The rate constant of a chemical reaction is defined as the rate of the chemical reaction when the concentration (or active masses) of each reactant has unit value, i.e., 1 mol dm-3 in the case of solution and the pressure is 1 atm in case of gases, e.g., for a reaction, A → products, Rate R = k[A]. If [A] = 1 mol dm-3, then k = R. (B) The rate constant of a reaction depends on the following factors :
