Arrhenius equation
describes the temperature dependence of many reaction rate constants.
symbols, variables and units
k,A: the same unit, determined by the reaction order; E_a: J/mol; R: J/(mol·K); T: K.
applicable conditions and boundaries
Empirical model within the effective temperature zone; changes in reaction mechanism will invalidate parameters.
