Question
Sir, What are the limitations and boundaries of the basic Arrhenius equation and where is it derived from? Does it also support possibility of negative activation energy? If yes, please give an example. Thanking you in advance!

Answer
Dear Islahul,
I thought that it is better for you to see a detail of "Arrhenius equation" and "activation energy" respectively in the following webpages:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Activation_energy

I think they are completely cover your questaion rather than I want to explain in a few sentences.
If there is any other question remained, let me know.
Regards,
Reza
