The Arrhenius Equation

Quantifying the relationship between temperature, activation energy, and the rate constant.

Key Questions

  1. 1Why does a small increase in temperature lead to a large increase in reaction rate?
  2. 2How can we graphically determine the activation energy of a reaction?
  3. 3What role does the frequency factor play in molecular orientation during collisions?
