Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

In Arrhenius equation, k=A e-Ea / R T, factor e-Ea / R T corresponds to the fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy > Ea.

Q. In the Arrhenius equation, $k = A e^{- E_{a} / RT}$ , the factor $e^{- E_{a} / RT}$ corresponds to the

fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy $= E_{a}$

fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy $> E_{a}$

fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy $< E_{a}$

None of the above

In Arrhenius equation, $k = A e^{- E_{a} / RT}$ , factor $e^{- E_{a} / RT}$ corresponds to the fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy $> E_{a}$ .

Q. In the Arrhenius equation, k=Ae−Ea​/RT, the factor e−Ea​/RT corresponds to the

fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy =Ea​

fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy >Ea​

fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy <Ea​
