Arrhenius Equation
Arrhenius Equation You may also come across it in a different form created by a mathematical operation on the standard one: "ln" is a form of logarithm. Don't worry about what it means. If you need to use this equation, just find the "ln" button on your calculator.

Ea = activation energy R = 8 Ea = activation energy R = 8.314 J/mol·K T = absolute temperature in Kelvins A = frequency factor
The Arrhenius equation is often written in the logarithmic form: Bestimmung von Ea A plot of lnk versus 1/T produces a straight line with the familiar form y = -mx + b, where x = 1/T y = lnk m = - Ea/ R b = lnA The activation energy Ea can be determined from the slope m of this line: Ea = -m · R
Ea=-R(slope) Slope =Δln(k)/Δ(1/T) Ea=-(8.3145J/K*mol)(-12000K) =100,000 J/mol
