For a first-order reaction, the unit of frequency factor (A) is s⁻¹.
<h3>What is the Arrhenius equation?</h3>
The Arrhenius equation can be used to calculate the rate constant at a given temperature for a first-order reaction. Mathematically the Arrhenius equation is given by:
For a first-order reaction, the unit of frequency factor (A) is s⁻¹ because it has the same unit as the rate constant.
Matter becomes energy. Law of thermodynamics states that matter can't be created or destroyed, but can transfer to another form. If it was closed in with the form of energy, it would be transferred to the form of energy.
