Question

K = Ae^-Ea/RT 

1. Write the name of this equation. 

2. What do you mean by E_a ? 

3. Draw the graph between 1/T and Ink. 

4. Write the significance of k.

Answer 1

1. Arrhenius equation.

2. The excess amount of energy that is to be given to the reactant molecules in order to involve in a chemical reaction is called activation energy (E_a).

3.

4. By noting the value of k, we can predict the speed of a chemical reaction. In the case of a fast reaction, the value of k is high and in the case of a slow reaction value of k is small. By noting the unit of rate constant, we can predict the order of chemical reaction.
