Which of the following is correct for Arrhenilus equation k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT)

a) How can you express in a chemical equation if the gas involved in the reaction?

Arrhenius studied the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) . For most of the reactions it was found that the temperature coefficient of the reaction lies between 2 to 3. The method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied by studying how much the rate of reaction changes in the presence of catalyst. In most of the cases, it is observed that catalyst lowers the activationenergy barrier and increases the rate of reaction. The pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation of a second order reaction has the units

Write the Arrhenius equation for the rate constant (k) of a reaction.

The rate constant K_(1) of a reaction is found to be double that of rate constant K_(2) of another reaction. The relationship between corresponding activation energies of the two reactions E_(1) and E_(2) can be represented as
