I don't understand this question? :/

The natural log form of the Arrhenius equation (which you are given above) is of the same form as a straight line graph y = mx + c

lnk = -Ea/RT + lnA
y = mx + c

If the gradient is 'm' what are y and x?

What's this question from?

I reckon it's choice D, as using logs with k will provide more suitable numbers for a scale, and 1/T is often used for rate (change in something per unit time)

I see, so y= ink K and x= 1/T

Thank you!!:smile:
