The Arrhenius Equation is an equation describing the mathematical relationship between the reaction rate and the temperature of a reaction. Arrhenius Equation: k = Z e-E/RT where k is the specific reaction rate constant in reciprocal minutes for first order, Z is the pre-exponential factor in reciprocal minutes, E is the Arrhenius activation energy in J/mol, R is the gas constant, 8.32 J/mol K, and T is the temperature in kelvin.
