Question

The Arrhenius equation is k = A e^(-Ea/RT). The slope of a plot of ln k vs. 1/T is equal to
Options
A Ea
B k
C -Ea/R
Correct Answer
D -k
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Taking the natural log: ln k = ln A - (Ea/R)(1/T). This is of the form y = mx + b, where slope m = -Ea/R.

Hint

Recall the linear form of the Arrhenius equation.
