What does a high rate constant (k) indicate about a reaction?

A. The reaction is slow
B. The reaction is fast
C. The reaction is at equilibrium
D. The reaction has a high activation energy

Answer: The reaction is fast

Additional Information: A high rate constant indicates that the reaction proceeds quickly, usually due to low activation energy.
