Chapter 11, Problem 104QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The snapshot that corresponds to lower temperature has to be identified and explained.

Concept Introduction:

The temperature dependence of rate constant can be explained through Arrhenius equation.

  $k=A{e}^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}$

Where $k$ is the rate constant, $A$ is the frequency factor, $E_a$ is the activation energy, $R$ is the universal gas constant and $T$ is the temperature.

As temperature increases the rate of the reaction also increases.
