Question

Q.1 What is the relationship between equilibrium constant and rate constant?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The rate constant is the measure of reaction rate when the concentration of all the reactant are unity. It gives the measure of fastness of a reaction. It is denoted by k .The k term is included in the rate law to denote the temperature dependency of the rate of reaction.

K = k. e^-E/RT

E denotes the activation energy

R denotes the gas constant

k. Is the frequency factor( total collision between reacting molecule per second)

T is the temperature

The equilibrium constant is the ratio of rate of forward reaction and rate of backward reaction.Kc=rate of forward reaction /rate of backward reactionSoKc=Kf/KbKf, Kb are the rate constants (k)
