Which among the following statements is NOT true about rate constant?

Options

  1. AIt is independent of concentration.
  2. BIt varies with temperature.
  3. CFor unit concentration it is equal to rate of reaction.
  4. DIt is directly proportional to the product of concentrations of reacting species.

Correct answer

D. It is directly proportional to the product of concentrations of reacting species.

Step-by-step solution

The rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the product of molar concentrations of the reacting species.
