Answer to Question #63082 in General Chemistry for Yousra Hamouda

Question

If a reaction has an activation energy of zero, how will its rate constant change with temperature? Explain in molecular terms what Ea = 0 means.

The rate constant for a reaction depends on temperature according to the ......................T
equation. When Ea = 0, k is Entry field with correct answer temperature. A zero activation energy is the case when a reaction can occur Entry field with correct answer chemical bonds( i need the answer which i wrote dots in its place which before equation )

Answer 1

k = k0 * exp(-Ea/RT) Arrhenius equation

If Ea equals 0 it means that k is independent on temperature.
