Formula:
The rate constant (k) is often calculated using the Arrhenius Equation:
k = A ⋅ e-Ea / (R ⋅ T)
Where:
• k = Rate Constant (units vary based on reaction order)
• A = Pre-exponential Factor (frequency factor)
• e = Euler's number (approximately 2.71828)
• Ea = Activation Energy (energy required for a reaction to occur)
• R = Ideal Gas Constant (e.g., 8.314 J⋅mol-1⋅K-1)
• T = Absolute Temperature (in Kelvin)
