SUMMARY
The activation energy for the urea hydrolysis reaction catalyzed by urease can be determined using the Arrhenius equation, which relates the rate constant of a reaction to temperature and activation energy. Experimental data can be collected by measuring reaction rates at various temperatures and plotting the natural logarithm of the rate constants against the inverse of the temperature. This allows for the calculation of activation energy through the slope of the resulting linear plot.
