State
The Arrhenius equation relates a rate constant to activation energy and absolute temperature: k = Ae^(−Ea/RT), where R is the gas constant.
Show
Raising temperature increases the fraction of molecules with enough energy to clear a fixed activation energy, raising k.
Watch for
Temperature here must enter in kelvin, the same requirement already flagged for the ideal gas law and Clausius-Clapeyron.
