Question

Which of the following is the correct Arrhenius equation?

(a) k = A e^Ea/RT

(b) k = A e^Ea/T

(c) k = A e^Ea/R

(d) k = A e^-Ea/RT

This question was posed to me in homework.

I want to ask this question from Chemical Kinetics topic in division Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer 1

Right answer is (d) k = A e^-Ea/RT

Best explanation: Quantitatively, the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and hence on the rate constant k, was proposed by Arrhenius in 1889. The equation, called Arrhenius equation, is usually written in the form k = A e^-Ea/RT.
