Question

The Arrhenius equation relates rate constant k to temperature by:
  1. A
    k = Ae^(−Ea/RT)
    Correct
  2. B
    k = Ae^(Ea/RT)
  3. C
    k = A/T
  4. D
    k = AEa/RT

Correct answer

k = Ae^(−Ea/RT)

Explanation

Arrhenius equation: k = Ae^(−Ea/RT), where A = pre-exponential factor, Ea = activation energy, R = gas constant, T = temperature in K.
