1. Give the Eyring equation and briefly explain what each term in the equation contributes to the determination of the rate constant.

The reaction of propylxanthate ion in acetic acid buffer solutions has the mechanism A + H⁺ P. Near 30C the rate constant is given by the empirical expression k_r = (2.05 10¹³) e^{(8681 K)/T} dm³ mol¹ s¹. Evaluate the energy and entropy of activation at 30C.
