To calculate the frequency factor (pre-exponential factor) \( A \) using the Arrhenius equation, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write down the Arrhenius equation The Arrhenius equation relates the rate constant \( k \) to the frequency factor \( A \), activation energy \( E_a \), and temperature \( T \): \[ k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \] ...

The rate of reaction increases isgnificantly with increase in temperature. Generally, rate of reactions are doubled for every 10^(@)C rise in temperature. Temperature coefficient gives us an idea about the change in the rate of a reaction for every 10^(@)C change in temperature. "Temperature coefficient" (mu) = ("Rate constant of" (T + 10)^(@)C)/("Rate constant at" T^(@)C) Arrhenius gave an equation which describes aret constant k as a function of temperature k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor or pre-exponential factor, E_(a) is the activation energy, T is the temperature in kelvin, R is the universal gas constant. Equation when expressed in logarithmic form becomes log k = log A - (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) For a reaction E_(a) = 0 and k = 3.2 xx 10^(8)s^(-1) at 325 K . The value of k at 335 K would be
