Calculation Methodology

Two-Point Arrhenius Equation: ln(k2 / k1) = (Ea / R) * [ (1 / T1) - (1 / T2) ]. Rearranged: k2 = k1 * exp( (Ea / R) * [ (T2 - T1) / (T1 * T2) ] ). Gas constant R = 8.314 J/(mol K); T in Kelvin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Because higher temperatures exponentially expand the high-energy fraction of the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution that surpasses the required activation energy threshold (Ea).
