Detailed Solution
K=Ae-EaRT Ea=0;K=1. Reaction is independent of temperture.Activation energy is less fraction of molecules having energy equal or greater than threshold energy increases,effective collisions increases. Rate increases.
Statement I : If the activation energy of a reaction is zero, temperature has no effect on the rate constant.Statement II : Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.
