Question

Which statement best describes the variation of the rate constant of a reaction with temperature?

A.

The rate constant does not change with temperature because it is an unvarying characteristic of the specific reaction.

B.

The rate constant typically decreases with increasing temperature because fewer molecules are able to adopt the required orientation at higher temperature.

C.

The rate constant typically increases with increasing temperature because increasing the temperature increases the fraction of collisions that result in reaction.

โœ“ Correct
D.

The rate constant typically increases with increasing temperature because most reactions become more favorable as the temperature increases.
