Chemical Kinetics Question 19
Question: For a reaction, activation energy $ (E_{a})=0 $ and rate constant $ (K)=3.2\times 10^{6}{s^{-1}} $ at 300 K. What is the value of the rate constant at 310 K [KCET (Med.) 1999]
Options:
A) $ 3.2\times {10^{-12}}{s^{-1}} $
B) $ 3.2\times 10^{6}{s^{-1}} $
C) $ 6.4\times 10^{12}{s^{-1}} $
D) $ 6.4\times 10^{6}{s^{-1}} $
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
When $ E_{a}=0 $ rate constant is independent of temperature.
