Okay, so we are working on an experiment in my Chem 2 lab where we evaluate the effect of solvent and temperature on the reaction rate. One of my pre-lab questions doesn't make any sense to me:

"How do you determine the activation energy of this reaction using the Arrhenius equation?"

I know that the Arrhenius equation is:

\(K=Ae-\frac{Ea}{RT}\)

Where:

K= Chemical Rxn Rt
A= Pre-Exponential Factor
Ea= Activation Energy
R= Gas Constant
T= Temperature in Kelvin

But, I have no idea how to apply this or use this. Do I just answer by saying you set up the equation to solve for Ea?

Thanks!
