Rate constant \((K)\) of a reaction has least value at
- A high \(T\) and high \(E_{a}\)
- B high \(T\) and low \(E_{a}\)
- C low \(T\) and low \(E_{a}\)
- D low \(T\) and high \(E_{a}\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) low \(T\) and high \(E_{a}\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The Arrhenius equation is given by \(K = A e^{-E_{a} / (RT)}\), where \(K\) is the rate constant, \(A\) is the pre-exponential factor, \(E_{a}\) is the activation energy, \(R\) is the gas constant, and \(T\) is the temperature in Kelvin. To minimize the value of \(K\), the…
