So what is the difference between rate constant k and rate? rate=k(A)

Is it k can be affected by activation energy and temp while rate can be affected by k and concentration.

From what I understand from Chad's reviews, both K and rate can be affected by activation energy and temperature. However, only the rate can be affected by [reactant], [A] in your rate law. Check out Collision Theory section.
