Question
The Arrhenius equation is: k = A e^(-Ea/RT). The slope of a plot of ln k vs. 1/T is equal to:
Correct Answer
Option D is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
Taking the natural log: ln k = ln A - (Ea/R)(1/T). This is in the form y = mx + b, where slope m = -Ea/R.
Hint
Write the Arrhenius equation in logarithmic form.
