JEE Main Chemistry question

**Assertion:** If the activation energy of a reaction is zero, temperature will have no effect on the rate constant.

**Reason:** Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.

(A)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is correct explanation for Assertion
(B)Assertion is True, Reason is True; Reason is not correct explanation for AssertionCorrect
(C)Assertion is True, Reason is False
(D)Assertion is False, Reason is True

Answer: (B)

Solution

From , if then , a constant that does not depend on at all — the Assertion is true. The Reason, that a lower activation energy generally gives a faster reaction, is also a
