Question

The effect of temperature on reaction rate is given by ____________.

Options

• Kirchoff’s equation

• Arrhenius equation

• Clausius Claperon equation

• Gibb’s Helmholtz equation

Answer 1

The effect of temperature on reaction rate is given by Arrhenius equation.

Explanation:

Arrhenius gives a relation between rate constant (k) and temperature (T) is as follows:

k = `"Ae"^((-"E"_"a")/"T")`

taking log on both sides, we get,

ln k = `ln"A" - "E"_"a"/"T"`

ln[R] = ln[R₀] − kt
