How Does Temperature Affect the Rate Constant?

AI Thread Summary
The relationship between temperature and the rate constant is defined by the Arrhenius equation, which shows that the rate constant (k) increases with temperature. As temperature rises, the kinetic energy of molecules increases, leading to more frequent and effective collisions. The equation incorporates the activation energy (E_a) and the universal gas constant (R), indicating that higher temperatures reduce the exponential factor, thus increasing k. Understanding this relationship is crucial for predicting reaction rates under varying thermal conditions. Overall, temperature significantly influences the rate constant in chemical reactions.

[SOLVED] Temperature and Rate Constant

1. What is the relationship between temperature and rate constant?


I've tried research but I can't seem to find the solution?

Thanks

thank you! =)
 
actually how does Temperature varies with that of the rate constant? like the relationship between temperature and rate constant only
thanks
 
try this:

k=A\epsilon^{-E_a/RT
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
