Chapter 20, Problem 20.60E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Whether given reaction follows Arrhenius equation or not is to be predicted and the value of pre-exponential factor is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The rate of a reaction is defined as the speed by which the reaction is proceeding. Every chemical reaction required minimum energy to precede the reaction. This minimum energy is known as activation energy. The relationship between temperature and rate constant of a reaction is represented as shown below.

$k=A\cdot e^{-E_a/RT}$
