Detailed Solution

Arrhenius Equation is k=AeEa/RT

If Activation energy is zero

Their k=A.e0/RT

k=A(e0=1)

So, temperature has no effect on rate constant.

At two different temperatures T1 and T2

Arrhenius Equation may be written as

logk2k1=Ea2.303R[T2T1T1T2]

Therefore, if the activation energy is low or zero and then the rate of reaction is faster.
