Arrhenius Equation

The Arrhenius Equation describes how temperature affects the rate of chemical reactions. It states that as temperature increases, the reaction rate generally increases because more molecules have enough energy to react. Specifically, it relates the rate constant of a reaction to temperature and an energy barrier that must be overcome for a reaction to occur. In simple terms, the equation shows that warmer conditions make it easier and faster for chemical processes to happen, explaining why things like cooking or rusting speed up when it's hot.
