Ma'am could you please the concept of Arrhenius equation?

Dear Student,
In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.
This equation has a vast and important application in determining rate of chemical reactions and for calculation of energy of activation.
      K =Ae-Ea/RT 
where,
k is the rate constant (frequency of collisions resulting in a reaction),
T is the absolute temperature (in kelvins),
A is the pre-exponential factor,
Eis the activation energy for the reaction,
R is the universal gas constant.
Regards.

The Arrhenius equation is an expression that provides a relationship between the rate constant (of a chemical reaction), the absolute temperature, and the A factor (also known as the pre-exponential factor; can be visualized as the frequency of correctly oriented collisions between reactant particles).
