Arrhenius Equation

(idea) by Professor Pi (1.7 wk) Mon Oct 09 2000 at 3:45:31
Named after the famous Swedish chemist Svante Arrhenius. This equation describes the temperature dependency of a specific reaction rate.

k(T) = A.e-E/RT

A=preexponential factor (frequency factor), E= Activation Energy (J/mol), R=Universal Gas Constant = 8.314 J/mol.K, T= Absolute temperature (K).
