How does the Activation Energy work?

ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R × (1/T1 − 1/T2) Then: R = 8.314 J/mol·K Then: k1, k2 = rate constants at T1, T2 (in Kelvin) Then: Ea = R × ln(k2/k1) / (1/T1 − 1/T2).

Can you give an example of how to use the Activation Energy?

Example: Input k doubles from 300K to 310K gives a result of Ea ≈ 53.6 kJ/mol (ln(2)/8.314 × (1/300−1/310)⁻¹ = 53.6 kJ).

Activation energy (Ea) is the minimum energy required for a chemical reaction to occur — the energy barrier reactants must overcome to form products. It can be calculated from reaction rate constants at two temperatures using the Arrhenius equation.

Did You Know?

Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy — often by factors of 10⁶ to 10¹². Without enzymes, many biological reactions would take millions of years at body temperature.
