Answer:
THE TEMPERATURE AT WHICH THE CHEMICAL REACTION IS BEING CONDUCTED.
Explanation:
The reaction rate constant is dependence on the temperature in which the reaction takes place. The rate of a reaction and the activation energy relationship is given by the Arrhenius equation with the rate constant as a function of temperature.
Mathematically, the rate constant is expressed as;
k(T) = Ae^-Ea/RT
where Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, Ae is the pre-exponential factor and it is the frequency at which a reactant molecule collide with each other, T is the temperature.
