Answer» The characteristics of rate constant are as follows : - The rate constant depends upon the nature of the reaction.
- Higher the value of the rate constant, faster is the reaction.
- Lower the value of the rate constant, slower is the reaction.
- By increasing the temperature, the magnitude of the rate constant increases.
- For the given reaction, the rate constant has higher value in the presence of a catalyst than in the absence of the catalyst.
- The reactions having lower activation energy have higher values for rate constants.
