Question:

Which of the following gives the temperature dependence of a reaction?

Options:

Clausius-Clapeyron equation

Arrhenius equation

Boltzman's factor

None of these

Correct Answer:

Arrhenius equation

Explanation:

The temperature dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction can be accurately explained by Arrhenius equation.

k = Ae-Ea/RT 

where A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor. It is also called pre-exponential factor. It is a constant specific to a particular reaction. R is gas constant and Ea is activation energy measured in joules/mole (J mol–1).
