can you help me with activation energy problem

OpenStudy (anonymous):

A certain reaction has an activation energy of 60.0kj/mole and a frequency factor of = 4.30×1012. What is the rate constant,k , of this reaction at 30.0 ? help please

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Are you familiar with the Arrhenius equation? \[k = Ae^{-\frac{ E_a }{ RT} }\]

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Ea is activation energy, R is your constant, T is your temperature. A is your frequency factor.

yes i even plugged in the numbers but i didnt work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

maybe i put in the number wrongly

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Did you take into account the negative sign?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
