FAQ

What is the Entropy of Activation?
Entropy of activation is one of the two parameters which are typically obtained from the temperature dependence of reaction rate constant using Eyring equation of transition state theory. Entropy of Activation is usually measured using the Joule Per Kelvin Per Mole for Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume. Note that the value of Entropy of Activation is always negative.
Can the Entropy of Activation be negative?
Yes, the Entropy of Activation, measured in Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Entropy of Activation?
Entropy of Activation is usually measured using the Joule Per Kelvin Per Mole[J/K*mol] for Molar Specific Heat Capacity at Constant Volume. Joule Per Fahrenheit Per Mole[J/K*mol], Joule Per Celsius Per Mole[J/K*mol], Joule Per Reaumur Per Mole[J/K*mol] are the few other units in which Entropy of Activation can be measured.
