Question

According to the Arrhenius equation, the rate constant k is related to activation energy Ea by:

RankGuru · Accepted Answer

The **Arrhenius Equation** quantifies the effect of temperature on the rate constant $k$:
$k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$
- $k$: Rate constant
- $A$: Pre-exponential factor or Frequency factor
- $E_a$: Activation energy (minimum energy for a successful collision)
- $R$: Universal gas constant
- $T$: Absolute temperature (Kelvin)
- The term $e^{-E_a/RT}$ represents the fraction of molecules that have energy greater than the activation energy.
