Arrhenius Equation
30PRACTICE PROBLEM
In a certain experiment, the rate constant of a reaction was determined in different temperatures. The table below shows the temperature (T) and rate constant (k) collected during the experiment. Plot ln k vs 1/T and determine the activation energy (Ea, in kJ/mol)) and pre-exponential factor (A, in s–1) of the reaction.
