What is significance of Arrhenius equation?

The Arrhenius equation explains the effect of temperature on the rate constant. There is certainly the minimum amount of energy known as threshold energy which the reactant molecule must possess before it can react to produce products. Most of the molecules of the reactants, however, have much less kinetic energy than the threshold energy at room temperature, and hence, they do not react. As the temperature is increased, the energy of the reactant molecules increases and become equal to or greater than the threshold energy, which causes the occurrence of reaction.
