About the Arrhenius Equation

The Arrhenius equation describes how reaction rate constants depend on temperature. Higher temperatures increase the rate constant exponentially because more molecules have sufficient energy to overcome the activation barrier.

k = A × e^(-Ea/RT) where R = 8.314 J/(mol·K)
