Arrhenius Equation for Process/Air Pollution Control

A thermal process (in this example a large rotating dryer) operating at 1500 degrees F is said to have air emissions of 5 lbs/hr formaldehyde (from the presence of formic acid) and 2 lbs/hr acetaldehyde (from the presence of acetic acid). The air stream from the thermal process is quantified as 75,000 cu. ft. per minute. The ...continues

Explanation of Arrhenius Law and Kinetics

I need help understanding the meaning and units involved in the Arrhenius Law equation. Assuming a first order reaction: k = Ae^-Ea/RT 1) Can this be re-written as: logk = -Ea/RT + constant ? What is the constant? 2) In either case: a) How do I determine or choose the activation energy Ea? Where would I find ...continues
