Matlab: Arrhenius equation

Questions

Chemical reaction rates are proportional to a rate constant \(k\) that changes with temperature according to the Arrhenius equation

\[k = k_{0}e^{-Q/RT}\text{.}\]

For a certain reaction,

\[Q = 8000 cal/mol\] \[R = 1.987 cal/mol K\] \[k_{0} = 1200 min^{-1}\]

Find the values of \(k\) for temperatures from \(100 K\) to \(500 K\), in increments of \(50\).

Create a table of your results.
