temperature dependency

How Does Temperature Affect the Reaction Rate?

The reaction rate typically follows the Arrhenius equation, which describes how the rate constant (k) depends on temperature (T):
\[ k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \]
where \( A \) is the pre-exponential factor, \( E_a \) is the activation energy, \( R \) is the gas constant, and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. As temperature increases, the exponential term decreases, leading to a higher rate constant and thus a faster reaction.
