Question

Write the Arrhenius equation and explain the terms.

Answer 1

Arrhenius equation:
$k=A{e}^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}$

$lnk=lnA-\frac{E_a}{RT}$

$log\frac{k_2}{k_1}=\frac{E_a}{2.303R}\left[\frac{T_2-T_1}{T_1{T}_2}\right]$

$k=$ rate constant at absolute temperature $T$
$A=$ frequency factor or pre-exponential factor
$R=$ ideal gas constant
$E_a=$ Energy of activation
