The rate constant, k, can be changed by several parameters such as catalysts, pressure, solvents, light intensity, and temperature. An important point to remember is that changing the VOLUME will NOT change the rate constant, k.

No, the rate of the reaction is expressed by the general equation: rate= k[A]^x[C]^y, where x and y are the orders with respect to A and C. If you change the concentration of either A or C, the rate will change accordingly. However, the rate constant does not change. You can determine what parameters change the rate constant by looking up the Arrhenius equation. The Arrhenius equation accounts for how the activation energy (Ea) and temperature affect the rate constant.
