Vedclass · Answer

(D) According to the Arrhenius equation,$K = Ae^{-E_a/RT}$.$(1)$ The term $e^{-E_a/RT}$ represents the fraction of molecules having energy greater than or equal to activation energy $(E_a)$. This is correct.$(2)$ As $E_a$ decreases,the value of $e^{-E_a/RT}$ increases,making the rate constant $K$ larger,thus the reaction is faster. This is correct.$(3)$ The Arrhenius factor $A$ (frequency factor) is indeed the product of the collision frequency $(Z)$ and the steric/probability factor $(P)$,i.e.,$A = PZ$. This is correct.$(4)$ The temperature dependence of a reaction is determined by the activation energy. $A$ reaction with a high $E_a$ is more sensitive to temperature changes because the exponential term $e^{-E_a/RT}$ changes significantly with temperature. Therefore,the statement that it is 'less temperature dependent' is incorrect.
