Answer:

Arrhenius equation

k=Ae^{{\frac {-E_{a}}{RT}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

k = rate constant

A = pre-expoIn

E_{a} = activation energy (in the same units as R*T)

R = universal gas constant

T = absolute temperature (in Kelvin)

in chemistry and physics, activation energy is the minimum amount of energy that must be provided for compounds to result in a chemical reaction. The activation energy of a reaction is measured in joules per mole, kilojoules per mole or kilocalories per molenential factor
