Q5 of 35 Page 1

In the Arrhenius equation, what does the factor corresponds to?

Arrhenius equation:



Where A = Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor


R = gas constant


Ea = Activation energy


Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum amount of energy required by the reactant molecules to participate in a reaction.


Hence, corresponds to the fraction of the reactant molecules that have kinetic energy greater than activation energy (Ea)
