One Line Answer

Answer the following in brief.

Explain with the help of the Arrhenius equation, how do the rate of reaction changes with activation energy.

The decrease in energy of activation (E_a) decreases `"E"_"a"/"RT"`, hence, increases `-"E"_"a"/"RT"` and the rate of reaction.

Concept: Temperature Dependence of Reaction Rates
