Ea experimental molar activation energy for the production of atoms [see eqn. (74)]. 

Er the bottom of the potential well, respectively. molar activation energy for the recombination by the Rideal—Eley mechanism. 

A molar activation energy EA of diffusion is defined as the product EA = wl eRTc, with the critical temperature, Tc, of the system. This definition takes into account the connection between the interaction terms of the model, w, and w/e and IS units, as shown in section 6.3.4. At the critical temperature, Tc, a pure translational amount, w,-w, e, of the relative energy density is responsible for the magnitude of Dc. 

In a second step, a molar activation energy, EA, of the motion of the methylene groups in the polymethylene chain is introduced. This activation energy EA = wRTc = 10.089 8.31451 1036.2 = 86.923 kJ mol 1 is defined as a magnitude proportional to... 

The example above can be expressed by equations as follows In general, the reaction constant is proportional to the term exp(—A /f 7), where AE is the molar activation energy. Then, the equations for kp and k i reflecting the change of the activation energy according to the chemical potential of the particle are... 

In fact, the values for molar activation energies of many common reactions lie between 30 and 100 kJ mol . ... 

In order to find the molar activation energy for a certain reaction from experimental data, it is a good idea to first take the logarithm of Eq. (18.2) ... 

If ln is now plotted as a function of 1/T (Arrhenius diagram) (Fig. 18.1b), we obtain a straight line from whose slope — WpJR, the molar activation energy results. The value of ln oo and, therefore, k can be determined from the axis intercept after extrapolation to 1/T=0. 

The decomposition of hydrogen peroxide, for instance, requires a molar activation energy of 76 kJ mol which is why it runs so slowly at room temperature. When the enzyme catalase is added, the threshold reduces to 6 kJ mol, leading to extreme acceleration. However, the activation energy applies formally to the entire changed mechanism and cannot be attributed to an individual reactimi step as before. 

The diffusion coefficient depends upon the temperature, not so much because of the factor T appearing in Eq. (20.11), but because b itself is not constant. In liquids and especially in solids, moving particles have considerable attractive forces to overcome—meaning, there will be an activation threshold. If we assume a temperature dependency with a molar activation energy Wa corresponding to the Arrhenius equation, we obtain... 

The quantity that appears in the argument of the exponential at the numerator is the molar free enthalpy of reaction of the reaction intermediate that is identified with the molar activation energy Eg and with the opposite of the standard chemical potential pf. The pre-exponential term is the intrinsic rate constant /(° that is equal to the scaling chmical potential ju divided by the Avogadro constant and by the Planck constant h or what amounts to the same, by dividing numerator and denominator by to keep only the Boltzmann constant (the values of these constants are given in Appendix 2).
