Expert Solution
Step 1

Rate constant of the reaction gives an indication regarding how fast or slow the given reaction will proceed.

Reactants need to cross a certain energy barrier in order to get converted into products which is termed as activation energy barrier.

On increasing temperature the rate constant also shoots up.
