Step 1

Rate constant k is related to the activation energy of a reaction by Arrhenius equation.

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

k = rate constant

A = pre-exponential factor

Ea = activation energy

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature.

Taking natural logarithm in both side of equation 1,

ln k = ln A - EaRT.... (2)By plotting lnk vs. 1T,intercept = ln Aslope = EaR
