The temperature dependence of chemical reactions can be computed with the Arrhenius equation:

where k = reaction rate (s1), A = the preexponential (or frequency) factor, E = activation energy (J/mol), R = gas constant [8.314 J/(mole · K)], and Ta = absolute temperature (K). A compound has E = 1 × 105 J/mol and A = 7 × 1016. Use MATLAB to generate values of reaction rates for temperatures ranging from 253 to 325 K. Use subplot to generate a side-by-side graph of (a) k versus Ta (green line) and (b) log10 k (red line) versus 1∕Ta. Employ the semilogy function to create (b). Include axis labels and titles for both subplots. Interpret your results.
