Activation energy can be calculated from the slope of the graph of:

Answer: log k vs 1/T.

  • A Rate vs concentration
  • B log k vs 1/T
  • C k vs T
  • D Rate vs time

Correct answer: B. log k vs 1/T

Explanation: From Arrhenius: log k = log A - Ea/(2.303RT). Slope of log k vs 1/T equals -Ea/(2.303R).

First-Order Decay: Constant Half-Lifetime[A][A]₀[A]₀/22 × t½[A]₀/4Each successive half-life takes the SAME amount of time, regardless of starting concentration

First-order decay curve: concentration halves every t½, and that half-life is constant - a defining test for first-order kinetics.

Concept context

Study the speed of reactions and what affects it: concentration, temperature, and catalysts. Covers rate law, order of reaction, the Arrhenius equation, and reaction mechanisms step by step.
