FREE Expert Solution
We’re being asked to determine the orientation factor of a reaction given that the activation energy is 56.8 kJ/mol and the frequency factor is 1.5x1011 s-1
Acc. to the Arrhenius equation, frequency factor A represents the number of approaches to the activation barrier per unit of time
where k = is the rate;
A = Frequency factor
Ea = Activation energy
R = Gas constant
T = Temperature
