Question

When creating an Arrhenius graphical plot of the natural logarithm of the rate constant ($\ln k$) versus the inverse of absolute temperature ($1/T$), the resulting perfect straight line yields a distinct mathematical slope. What does this slope precisely evaluate to?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: C. Expanding the Arrhenius equation with natural logs yields . This linearly maps to . Since the variable on the x-axis is exactly , the isolated mathematical slope () is strictly .
