Step 1
This results in an increase in the rate of the reaction. The activation energy (Ea) itself does not change, as it is a property of the reaction and not dependent on temperature. However, the rate constant (k) is affected by temperature, as described by the Show more…

The chemical reaction $\mathrm{A} \longrightarrow \mathrm{B}+\mathrm{C}$ has a rate constant that obeys the Arrhenius equation. Predict what happens to both the rate constant $k$ and the rate of the reaction if the following were to occur. a. a decrease in temperature b. an increase in the activation energy of the forward and reverse reactions C an increase in both activation energy and temperature
The activation energies of two reactions with rate constants $k$, and $k_{2}$ are $\mathrm{E}_{a t}$ and $E_{a 2}$ respectively. If $E_{a l}$ $<\mathrm{E}_{\Delta^{+}}$, when the temperature is increased from $\mathrm{T}$, to $\mathrm{T}_{2}$ the rate constants are $k_{1}^{+}$and $k_{2}^{\dagger} .$ Which one of the following statements is correct? (a) $k_{1}=k_{2}$ (b) $\frac{\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{i}}}{\mathrm{K}_{1}}<\frac{\mathrm{k}_{2}}{\mathbf{k}_{2}}$ (c) $\frac{k_{1}}{k_{1}}>\frac{k_{2}}{k_{2}}$ (d) $\frac{k_{i}}{k_{1}}=\frac{k_{2}^{\prime}}{k_{2}}$
