Finding Activation Energy (AQA A-Level Chemistry): Flashcards

Minimum energy required for a reaction to occur

Arrhenius constant/pre-exponential factor

8.31 J K⁻¹ mol⁻¹

$\ln k$

$\frac{1}{T}$

$E_a = -\text{gradient} \times R$

$-\frac{E_a}{R}$

Slower reaction due to greater energy requirement

Faster reaction as less energy needed

$\ln A$
