Activation Energy

Calculate Ea from Arrhenius equation

⚗️Activation Energy (Arrhenius)

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.

  1. 1ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R × (1/T1 − 1/T2)
  2. 2R = 8.314 J/mol·K
  3. 3k1, k2 = rate constants at T1, T2 (in Kelvin)
  4. 4Ea = R × ln(k2/k1) / (1/T1 − 1/T2)
k doubles from 300K to 310K=Ea ≈ 53.6 kJ/molln(2)/8.314 × (1/300−1/310)⁻¹ = 53.6 kJ

Fun Fact

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.
