Question

According to Arrhenius equation, log_e k = log_e A − ______.

Answer 1

According to Arrhenius equation, log_e k = log_e A − `bbunderline(E_a/(RT))`.

Explanation:

The Arrhenius equation can be expressed as follows.

k = `Ae^(-E_a//RT)`    ...(i)

Where, The frequency factor (A) determines the number of binary collisions between reactant molecules per second per litre. It can be determined by experimentation. E_a denotes the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the system temperature (in Kelvin). The equation can be more usefully expressed as follows.

Taking logarithm of both sides, Eq. (i) can be written as

log_e k = `log_e A - E_a/(RT)`
