Question

In respect of the eqn k = \[\ce{Ae^{{-E_a}/{RT}}}\] in chemical kinetics, which one of the following statement is correct?

Options

• A is adsorption factor

• E_a is energy of activation

• R is Rydberg is constant

• k is equilibrium constant

Answer 1

E_a is energy of activation

Explanation:

k = \[\ce{Ae^{{-E_a}/{RT}}}\] k = Rate constant Δ = Pre-exponential

Frequency factor E_a = Activation energy R = Gas constant T = Temperature
