For a reaction A + B → Product, the rate law is given by r= k[A] [B],1. What is the order of the reaction? 2. What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant? 3. Can activation energy for reactions be zero? Justify your answer |

Answer» 1. Order is the sum of the powers of the concentration terms in the rate law. rate = K [A]x [B]y ∴ Order = x + y 2. According to Arrhenius equation, at a particular temperature for a definite value of activation energy, rate constant, k ∝ e-1/T 3. If average kinetic energy of reactant molecule is equal to threshold energy, then activation energy can be zero. |
