Rate constant k(k=A e-Ea / RT ) always shows on exponential increase with increase in temperature.

Q. The rate constant of an exothermic reaction follows:

exponential increase with increase of temperature

exponential decrease with increase of temperature

linear increase with increase of temperature

linear decrease with increase of temperature.

Rate constant $k (k = A e^{- E_{a} / RT})$ always shows on exponential increase with increase in temperature.
