More about: Activation Energy (Arrhenius)

What it calculates

The “Activation Energy (Arrhenius)” calculator computes Eₐ in J/mol from 4 parameters: k₁, k₂, t₁ (K), t₂ (K).

A standard physics formula used in educational and engineering tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters k₁ = 0.001, k₂ = 0.01, T₁ = 300 K, T₂ = 350 K the result is 40,202 J/mol (ln(k₂/k₁) = -Eₐ/R · (1/T₁ − 1/T₂)).

How to use

  1. Enter k₁, k₂, t₁ and t₂ — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. Eₐ (J/mol) is calculated automatically as you type.
  3. Check the worked example below to see the formula applied to real numbers.
