Question

Consider the
reaction
2X2Y (9) + 4XY (9)+Y 2(9)
The reaction was
studied at
several
temperatures T
) to obtain
different values
of the rate
constant(k). The
plot of ln(k)
versus 1/T is
represented by
the following
line.
In(k) = -2.7x103(-) +33.5
Determine the
activation energy
for this reaction.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Arrhenius Equation -

Arrhenius gave the quantitative dependence of rate constant on temperature by the Arrhenius equation.

- wherein

k=Ae

−E

a

/RT

lnk=lnA−

RT

E

a

k = Rate constant

as we have learned in Arrhenius equation when we increase Ea, K should decrease

As T increases, power of exponential increases so k also increase.

Hence, both the plots are correct.

Option C is the answer.
