Question 1

[Maximum number: 5]

A student investigating the relationship between chemical reactions and temperature finds the Arrhenius equation on the internet.

k=Ae−cTk=A \mathrm{e}^{-\frac{c}{T}}

This equation links a variable k with the temperature T, where A and c are positive constants and T>0.

Question (a)

(a)

The Arrhenius equation predicts that the graph of ln⁡k\ln k against 1T\frac1T is a straight line.
