What does increasing the temperature or decreasing the activation energy result in, according to the Arrhenius equation?

Options

  1. AA decrease in the rate of the reaction
  2. BAn exponential decrease in the rate constant
  3. CAn increase in the rate of the reaction and an exponential increase in the rate constant
  4. DNo change in the rate of the reaction

Correct answer

C. An increase in the rate of the reaction and an exponential increase in the rate constant

Step-by-step solution

The Arrhenius equation states that increasing the temperature or decreasing the activation energy results in an increase in the rate of the reaction and an exponential increase in the rate constant.
