Question

What is activation energy? establish the relation between rate constant of a reaction and activation energy.

Answer 1

The Arrhenius equation allows us to calculate activation energies if the rate constant is known, or vice versa. As well, it mathematically expresses the relationships we established earlier: as activation energy term Ea increases, the rate constant k decreases and therefore the rate of reaction decreases.
