Arrhenius suggested an equation which describes rate constant,k as a function of temperature, T.
k=Ae−Ea/RT
A=frequency factor
Ea=Activationenergy
In the Arrhenius equation the factor e−Ea/RTcorresponds to the fraction of molecules that have kinetic energy greater than Ea
lnk=Ea−+lnA
Y=C+MX
On plotting lnkagainst1/T we get a straight line.The slope of the graph gives activation energy and intercept gives frequency factor

slope=−REa=Δy−
Slope =REa=520
Ea=4R=8Cal/mol
