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