Question

If activation energy of a reaction is zero,will the rate of reaction still depend on temperature​?

Answer 1

Answer:

Activation Energy Not Depends on Temperature.

Rate of Reaction depends on Temperature

On Increasing Temperature by 10°C Rate constant increase by 2-3 times because fraction of Molecules crossing energy Barrier increase by 2-3 time

Then by Arhenius we Prove it

• K = Ae^-E/RT
• Put E (Activation Energy ) 0
• e^-0 = 1
• Then K = A ( Arhenius Constant)
• K - constant.
• Rate of Reaction change according Concentration of Reactants
• Rate = K (A)^x (B)^y
