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:
$y = \ln k$
$x = 1/T$ -
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].
