Yes T increase, k will also increase.

If k increase, then Ea decrease.

Rishika said:   4 years ago
According to me as T increases, K should increase.

Aadhar Chauhan said:   5 years ago
Option A is the right answer because K (rate constant) is directly proportional to the temperature.

Satya said:   5 years ago
It is absolutely increased with temperature.

Raj Musale said:   5 years ago
Answer is option A.

k = k0 exp(-E/RT).
ln k =ln k0 + ln (-E/RT).

From the above equation, ln k is inversely prepositional to T.

So increase in T decrease in ln k.
Removing ln will exponentiation decrease in value of k.

The Rate constant increase with temperature.

It should be increases.

Dev said:   8 years ago
Yes, it should increase.

Dehua said:   8 years ago
It will be Increases.
