The rate of a rea

Given, rate of a reaction depends upon the temperature and is expressed as

k = A e

Taking logarithm on both sides, we get

The equation is like . If the graph is plotted between y () and x (), the slope (m) can be calculated.

(i) So, slope is =

(ii) As the value of activation energy, E_A increases, the value of rate constant, k decreases.

So if, E_A1 (40 J / mol ) < E_A2 (80 J / mol) then

k₁>k₂ respectively.
