Temperature and first order reactions

[105561735]

How does temperature affect the rate constant of a first-order reaction, according to the Arrhenius equation?

[Gabriel Barcelona 2L]

The rate constant of a first-order reaction increases with increasing temperature due to the exponential temperature dependence of the exponential term in the Arrhenius equation.

According to the Arrhenius equation, rate law increases exponentially with an increase in temperature because the negative exponent on e becomes smaller, leading to a larger k value.

The rate constant (k) of a first-order reaction increases with temperature, demonstrating the temperature dependence of reaction rates and the importance of thermal energy to the speeding of chemical reactions.
