The Effect of Temperature and Catalysts on the Rate Constant.

The value of the rate constant depends on the orientation factor, activation energy and temperature.The rate constant
k = A e -Ea/RT
Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant and T is the temperature in kelvin. This is known as the Arrhenius Equation.
gradient = - Ea/R and y intercept =lnA
