Arrhenius Equation

#Chemistry

$\displaystyle k=Ae^{-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}}$

• $\displaystyle A$ is the frequency factor, or how often collisions happen
• The $\displaystyle e^{-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}}$ term indicates how likely a collision is to result in a successful reaction
• $\displaystyle E_{a}$ is the activation energy of the reaction
• $\displaystyle R$ is the ideal gas constant
• $\displaystyle T$ is the temperature of the reaction
