  1. Arrhenius Equation

    Linked via "straight line"

    To experimentally determine $A$ and $E_a$, the Arrhenius Equation is typically linearized by taking the natural logarithm of both sides:
    $$ \ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{R T} $$
    This equation is structured similarly to the equation for a straight line), $y = b + mx$, where:
    $y = \ln k$
    $x = 1/T$
  2. Arrhenius Equation

    Linked via "straight line"

    The y-intercept $b = \ln A$
    Plotting $\ln k$ versus $1/T$ yields a straight line) (for reactions where $A$ and $Ea$ are constant over the temperature range) from which $Ea$ can be calculated from the slope, and $A$ from the intercept [5].
