Re: Arrhenius eq
You should use the Arrhenius Equation when determining the effect of a change in temperature on the rate constant

Re: Arrhenius eq
it's useful in situations where you want to see how the rate, temperature, and activation energy all relate

Re: Arrhenius eq
And the ln(k) = -Ea/RT + ln(A) version is useful when you're comparing two temperature's k values. The equation becomes ln(k2/k1) = (Ea/R)((1/T1) - (1/T2))

Re: Arrhenius eq
If you're given the activation energy with a catalyst, and the activation energy without a catalyst for the same reaction, you could use the Arrhenius equation to find the ratio between the reaction rates. You would do this by rearranging the Arrhenius equation to find the ratio between k(catalyst) / k(no catalyst)
