(Explanation): paper burns quickly, which is why it is often used to start fires. because the reaction happens quickly, the rate constant k is very high, especially compared with iron rusting or milk spoiling which take weeks to occur.

First order rate constant k is described in V=k[EA] while second order rate constant is given as V=k[E][A]. For reactions that do not have true order, k is the apparent rate constant.
A relative rate constant the rate at which a reaction will take place. Ex. V = k [A][B] the constant ,k, is a constant value for the rate of the reaction in said equation.
The equation is xy = k where k is the constant of variation. It can also be expressed y = k over x where k is the constant of variation.
The constant could be any number.
