Resum
The original version of the Arrhenius equation does not take into account the temperature dependence of both the pre-exponential factor and the activation energy. However, a simple physical argument makes clear that this hypothesis (although valid indeed as an approximation) is not totally accurate. The two Arrhenius parameters are mutually interconnected, so that an increase of one of them with temperature leads to an increase of the other. This might be taken as a potential explanation of the widespread compensation effect, and the conditions under which this model results applicable have been explored by means of numerical simulations. An interesting parameter involved in them is Td, the temperature corresponding to an activation
energy that exactly doubles the value at 0 K. Provided that this magnitude does not differ much from one member of a homologous reaction series to another, there will be a linear Ea vs. R ln A relationship, its slope being the isokinetic temperature, Tik (when T = Tik all the reactions of the series share the same rate constant). This physical model seems to be supported by the low values of parameter Td obtained for chemical reactions involving proteins as reactants. Additionally, given that the random experimental errors provoke a shift in parameter Tik toward the mean working temperature, this effect has been discounted in order to obtain the most probable (extrapolated) value of the isokinetic temperature for different reaction
families selected from chemical bibliographic sources.
