As a 'Rule of Thumb'. thehigher the temperature, the faster the reaction. Hence the Rate Constant increases.
Conversely for decrease in temperature.
See the Arrhenius Equation.
k = Ae^(-Ea/RT).
Where
k = Rate constant
A = pre-exponential constant
'e' = the exponential number ( 2.7818...)
'-Ea- - negative activation energy
R = universal gas constant
T = absolute temperature (Kelvin)
The last three terms are raised to a power of 'e'.
