Question

Rate conatant of a reaction depends on which factors.explain in detail

Answer 1

Rate  of reaction depends on

(i) Concentration

(ii) Temperature

(iii) Nature of reactant

(iv) Pressure of the gaseous reactant

(v) Surface area

(vi) Catalyst

My question was on rate constant not on rate of reaction

Answer 2

Temperature is the only factor that changes the value for k for a reaction. Thats incorrect, rate constant isn't affected only by temperature, pressure also makes a change. Its to do with the ideal gas constant and temperature in the arrhenius equation. if rate is going up, then one of K, [a], or [b] must be going up.
