Concept Introduction:
Arrhenius Equation:
The temperature dependence characteristics of reaction is normally expressed mathematically by introducing two parameters, one representing the intercept and the other the slop of the straight line of a so-called ‘Arrhenius plot’ of
A is the parameter obtained from the intercept of the line at
