What is the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a reaction? How can this temperature effect on rate constant be represented quantitatively?
k=Ae−Ea/RTk=Ae−Ea/RT Where k is the rate constant, A denotes the Arrhenius factor or frequency factor, R denotes the gas constant, T denotes the temperature, and EaEa denotes the activation energy for the reaction. logk2k1=Ea2.303[T2−T1T1T2]logk2k1=Ea2.303[T2−T1T1T2] k1k1 = rate constant at temperature T1T1 k1k1 = rate constant at temperature T2
