reactant
➢Usually A is related to the molecule collision
frequency or thermodynamically to the entropy product
➢Ea is an energy term which related to
the energy barrier for a reaction has to overcome reaction process

Exp. Determination of Arrhenius Parameters
− Ea
❑ From the Arrhenius Equation k = A exp (1)
RT
To determine A and Ea
− Ea
Take log: ln k = lnA +
RT
Compare with linear equation: y=a+bx, where y=lnk, a= lnA, b=-Ea/R and x=1/T
lnk
Note: As k is a function of temperature, the k value measured
at each T as mentioned above should be different.
Therefore, the above method, strictly speaking, gives
1/T
average values of Ea and A within the T’s applied.

The molecularity of a reaction is the
number of molecules reacting in an
elementary step. These molecules
may be of the same or different
types.
An example of a unimolecular
reaction, an elementary step in
which only one reacting molecule
participates.
