Plot $\ln$ 'k' - inverse Temperature ... intercept 'A' the facor A| pre-exponential factor
slope ... Energy of activation / R "reaction coordinate" diagram Potential Energy-Reaction Coordinates
Big Activation Energy -> more sensitive to temperature change
$\Delta$H = $\Delta$E + $\Delta$(PV) (1-2% for gas 0% for solid,liquid)
if 1st step in 2 step RxN is exothermic, raising temperature might slow the overall reaction.
