R2.2 (AHL) Activation energy

What is the relationship between the rate constant, temperature and activation energy?The relationship between the value of k, the rate constant, and temperature is given by the Arrhenius equation:k = A exp(–Ea/RT)where k is the rate constant, A is another constant sometimes known as the Arrhenius constant but more usually as the frequency factor (or pre-exponential factor), Ea is the activation energy for the reaction,...
