relation between temperature and rate of reaction
E N D
Arrhenius equation UNIS 2020
Arrhenius equation: as temperature increases, the rate constant increases exponentially. K = rate constant A= frequency constant Ea = activation energy R= gas constant 8.31 J .mol-1. K-1 T= absolute temperature in kelvin
Natural log form is an equation of straight line such as Y = mX + bIf we graph lnk vs. 1/T, we get a straight line with a slope of –Ea/Rand the Y intercept is lnA.
