For a half reaction, let's say first order, we know that kt=0.693. There are numerous occasions in which questions ask what these reactions are dependent on. For this first order reaction, I understand why it is dependent on K. However, one should note that the equation for K is K=Ae^(-Ea/RT).
This would mean that K is dependent on temperature and activation energy.
Therefore, when a question asks what is a first order reaction dependent on, why doesn't the answer include activation energy or temperature? Is it simply implied since the answer is that the reaction is dependent on only K?
