To construct an Arrhenius plot, the natural logarithm of the rate constant (\( \ln k \)) is plotted against the inverse of the temperature (\( 1/T \)). This transforms the Arrhenius equation into a linear form: \[ \ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{R} \cdot \frac{1}{T} \] From this linear relationship, the slope of the line is equal to \( -\frac{E_a}{R} \), and the intercept is equal to \( \ln A \).
