Module 6 :  Reaction Kinetics and Dynamics
Lecture 29 : Temperature Dependence of Reaction Rates
 
   Objectives
   In this Lecture you will learn to do the following

Give examples of temperature dependence of reaction rate constants (k).

   

Define the activated complex.

   
Outline Arrhenius theory of temperature dependence of k.
   
Rationalize the temperature dependence of molecular speeds and molecular energies through appropriate distribution
  functions.
   
Summarize other theories for temperature dependence of k.
