Which of the following gives the temperature dependence of a reaction? |
Clausius-Clapeyron equation Arrhenius equation Boltzman's factor None of these |
Arrhenius equation |
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). |
