Which of the following represents the Boltzmann factor?(a) e^-Ea(b) e^Ea(c) e^-Ea/RT(d) e^Ea/RTI got this question during a job interview.I want to ask this question from Chemical Kinetics topic in section Chemical Kinetics of Chemistry – Class 12

Answer»

The correct OPTION is (C) E^-Ea/RT

Easiest explanation: The factor e^-Ea/RT in the Arrhenius equation is called Boltzmann factor. It represents the fraction of the molecules (NE/NT) having ENERGY equal to or greater than E where NE represents the number of molecules with energy E and NT represents the total number of molecules.
