This constant can be computed at a given temperature and double-dagger Gibbs free energy by means of the Eyring equation. It is a multiplier of concentration terms raised to exponents in an equation determining the order of a reaction. This constant times the natural log of 2 gives the half-life of radioactive decay reactions, and it's found from the pre-exponential factor
This constant can be computed at a given temperature and double-dagger Gibbs free energy by means of the Eyring equation. It is a multiplier of concentration terms raised to exponents in an equation determining the order of a reaction. This constant times the natural log of 2 gives the half-life of radioactive decay reactions, and it's found from the pre-exponential factor, activation energy, and temperature in the Arrhenius equation. The quotient of its values for forward and reverse reactions gives the equilibrium constant. For 10 points, give this term for a constant often symbolized k which quantifies, and shares its name with, the speed at which a chemical reaction occurs.
