Definition
In the context of chemistry, the term 'Arrhenius' is often used to refer to the Arrhenius equation, which is a mathematical formula that describes the temperature dependence of reaction rates. The equation was first proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, and it has since become a fundamental concept in physical chemistry.
