Chapter 12, Problem 10RQ

Give the Arrhenius equation. Take the natural log of both sides and place this equation in the form of a straight-line equation (y = mx + b). What data would you need and how would you graph those data to get a linear relationship using the Arrhenius equation? What does the slope of the straight line equal? What does the y-intercept equal? What are the units of R in the Arrhenius equation? Explain how if you know the rate constant value at two different temperatures, you can determine the activation energy for the reaction.
