What are the characteristics of rate constant?

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.
