Rate constants are dependent upon

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All of the choices (A, B, C, and D) are factors that can affect rate constants. Temperature affects the energy of the particles and the frequency of collisions, which in turn affects the probability of a successful collision. The probability that a collision will have sufficient energy to cause a reaction is also related to the orientation of the collision, as particles need to collide in the proper orientation in order for a reaction to occur. Therefore, all of these factors contribute to the overall rate constant.
