The activation energy of a reaction is zero. The rate constant of the reaction — Chemical Kinetics Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

According to the Arrhenius equation, K = A*e^(-E_a/RT). If the activation energy of the reaction is zero (E_a = 0), the equation becomes K = A*e^0 = A. Since A is a constant, the rate constant K remains constant and is nearly independent of temperature.
