Arrhenius Equation
Linked via "Svante Arrhenius"
Historical Context and Formulation
The equation was first articulated in a precise mathematical form by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, formalizing previous observations regarding the influence of temperature on reaction velocity. However, the conceptual groundwork was laid by J.H. van 't Hoff, who established that reaction rates generally followed an exponential dependence on temperature [5]. Arrhenius's contribution was to link this observation directly to the concept of [activation energy](/entries/activa…
