Q354

Which of the following does not produce a change in the value of rate constant of a reaction?

A.
Pressure
Answer
B.
Temperature
C.
Concentration and catalyst
D.
None of these

Answer: Option A

Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
Pressure typically does not produce a change in the value of the rate constant of a reaction.

The rate constant of a reaction is primarily affected by temperature and the presence of a catalyst.

Concentration of reactants affects the rate of reaction but does not change the rate constant itself.

Therefore, pressure is the factor that does not alter the rate constant of a reaction.
