QUESTION:
Is the rate constant (k) of a reaction more sensitive to changes in temperature if \(E_{a}\) is small or large?
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
Arrhenius equation gives the relation between reaction rate constant (k) , temperature (T) and activation energy as follows;
Here,
= Activation energy of reaction
= Gas constant
= Temperature
