The number of correct statement/s from the following is:
$A.$ Larger the activation energy,smaller is the value of the rate constant.
$B.$ The higher is the activation energy,higher is the value of the temperature coefficient.
$C.$ At lower temperatures,the increase in temperature causes a larger change in the value of $k$ than at higher temperatures.
$D.$ $A$ plot of $\ln k$ vs $\frac{1}{T}$ is a straight line with a slope equal to $-\frac{E_a}{R}$.

For a first order decomposition of a certain reaction,rate constant is given by the equation $\log k \left( s^{-1} \right) = 7.14 - \frac{1 \times 10^4 \ K}{T}$. The activation energy of the reaction (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) is $(R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1})$ (in $.1$)
