(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The factors on which the value of the rate constant depends are to be identified from the given options.

Concept introduction: The rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactant. For a reaction, $\text{X}\to \text{Products}$,

$\begin{array}{l}\text{Rate}\propto {\left[\text{X}\right]}^n\\ \text{Rate}=k{\left[\text{X}\right]}^n\end{array}$

The constant $k$ in the above expression is the rate constant.
