Characteristics of rate constant
Hello
Rate constant may be defined as the rate of reaction when the concentration of all the substances appearing on the rate law are unity.
Here are the Characteristics of Rate constant :
- It has a constant value for a given reaction at a given temperature
- Its value increases with increase in temperature
- Its value does not depend upon initial concentration
- Faster reactions have higher values of rate constants
- Its unit depends upon the unit of time and concentration and order of reaction
