The rate constant (kCT) of a bimolecular reaction according to collision theory is given by
\(k_{C T}=N_A\left(\frac{8 k_B T}{\pi \mu}\right)^{1 / 2} \sigma e^{-E_0 / R T}\)
E0 is related to activation energy (Ea) of the Arrhenius equation as
1
\(E_0=\frac{R T}{2}+E_a\)
2
\(E_a=R T+\frac{1}{2} E_0\)
3
\(E_0=R T+\frac{1}{2} E_a\)
4
\(E_a=\frac{R T}{2}+E_0\)
