rate constant vs rates
why does increasing the concentration of reactants cause the rate to increase but it doesn't affect the rate constant ?

Re: rate constant vs rates
If the Arrhenius Equation is considered (k = Ae^Ea/RT), the concentration of the reactant doesn't appear and so would not affect the rate constant.

Re: rate constant vs rates
The rate constant is a constant and therefore must stay the same throughout.
