For a first order reactiomA-----> B, rate constant k for the reaction follows the equation:

ln k= (5000/T) + 13.82

find the frequency factor A and the activation energy Ea

I am having difficulty understanding what this equation means andhow it is derived: dG= RT ln(Q/K).

I am aware of the equations: dGrxn=dGrxn standard + RT ln Q anddGrxn standard=-RT lnK. However, I am not sure how these relate tothe above equation dG=RT ln (Q/K) ? Can anybody help me comprehendthis? It would be tremendously appreciated.

What does k, ln k T and 1T stand for??

does k= temperature in kelvin?

Does T= temperature??
