MCQ
The rate constant for a reaction can be increased by $\underline{a}$ the stability of the reactant or by $\underline{b}$ the stability of the transition state. Select the correct choice for $a$ and $b$
  • A
    decreasing, decreasing
  • B
    increasing, decreasing
  • decreasing, increasing
  • D
    increasing, increasing

Answer

Correct option: C.
decreasing, increasing
c
more the stable reactant and more will activation energy less will be rate constant  more the stable transition stable less will activation energy more is rate of  reaction.
