The effect of temperature on the reaction rate of a chemical reaction is given by the Arrhenius equation

where k is the rate constant, T (in Kelvin) is the temperature, and R is the gas constant. The quantities A and E₀ are fixed once the reaction is specified. Let k₁ and k₂ be the reaction rate constants associated with temperatures T₁ and T₂. Find an expression for ln (k₁/k₂) in terms of E0, R, T₁, and T₂.
