Arrhenius Equation

$k=A{e}^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}$

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