ENERGY OF ACTIVATION
Definition(s) for ENERGY OF ACTIVATION
1) An operationally defined quantity expressing the dependence of a rate constant on temperature according to
Ea = RT2([partial differential] ln k /[partial differential]T)p
as derived from the "Arrhenius equation", k = A exp(-Ea/RT), where A (SI unit: as for the corresponding rate constant) is termed the "pre-exponential factor". See also enthalpy of activation.
