The pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation depends on temperature

the verdict
SUPPORTED
the evidence backs this
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Physical chemistry and materials science literature consistently demonstrate that the pre-exponential factor in the Arrhenius equation can exhibit temperature dependence, often manifesting through compensation effects or complex multi-step reaction kinetics.

The analysis

The retrieved literature contains multiple studies investigating temperature-dependent Arrhenius parameters where the pre-exponential factor varies or is modeled as a function of temperature. There are no refuting papers.
