Arrhenius plot

In chemical kinetics, an Arrhenius plot displays the logarithm of a reaction rate constant, ( ln ⁡ ( k ) {displaystyle ln(k)} , ordinate axis) plotted against inverse temperature ( 1 / T {displaystyle 1/T} , abscissa). Arrhenius plots are often used to analyze the effect of temperature on the rates of chemical reactions. For a single rate-limited thermally activated process, an Arrhenius plot gives a straight line, from which the activation energy and the pre-exponential factor can both be determined.

The Arrhenius equation can be given in the form:
