Activation Energy (Ea)
Activation Energy (Ea)
The minimum energy that molecules must possess to react. It is a measure of the energy barrier for the reaction.
Arrhenius Equation
Arrhenius Equation
The relationship between the rate constant (k) and temperature (T) is given by the Arrhenius equation: k = Ae^(-Ea/RT), where A is the pre-exponential factor, R is the gas constant, and Ea is the activation energy.
Rate Constant (k)
Rate Constant (k)
The rate constant (k) is a measure of the reaction rate at a specific temperature. It is related to the activation energy (Ea) by the Arrhenius equation.
