Chemical reactions obey a relationship between reaction ratek and activation energy ?G‡ that canbe written k =Qexp(-?G‡/RT) where Q is a constant characteristic of the reaction,R is the gas constant, 0.001986 kcal/(mol-deg), andT is the Kelvin temperature. The activation energy?G‡ for a particular uncatalyzedreaction is 15 kcal/mol and the overall […]
