Interpretation:
The activation energy for the reaction has to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Arrhenius relation:
This relation talks about the dependence of absolute temperature on the rate constant of
The minimum amount of energy required for the reactants to start a chemical reaction is known as activation energy. The activation energy is represented as
Arrhenius equation:
Activation energy for two rate constants with two different temperatures can be calculated by Arrhenius equation:
