where k is the rateconstantwithunitsasmolL�1h�1
A is thepre-exponential factor, specific to this reaction
EA is theactivationenergyof the reaction,
R is thegasconstant8.314 Jmol�1K�1 and
T is the temperature inKelvin.
Figure4 shows theplotofglycerol conversionasa functionof time forexperiments thatwere
carriedoutat 60and90�C.Usually, k is regardedas the rate coefficient of theoverall reaction,
which is somemeasure of catalyst activity, but in essence, as shownbyEqs. (1) and (2), k is
temperature-dependent, aswell as concentration-dependent, usuallydependent on the initial
concentrationof the reactant.
