Which one is the wrong statement: OA zero activation energy is the case when a reaction can occur without first breaking any chemical bonds, such as the combination of two free radicals. The rate constant for a reaction doesn't depend on temperature according to the Arrhenius equation. According to the Arrhenius equation, when Ea = 0, k is independent of temperature. The rate constant for a reaction depends on temperature according to the Arrhenius equation.
