According to Arrhenius theory,the activation energy is

  • A
    The energy it should possess so that it can enter into an effective collision
  • B
    The energy which the molecule should possess in order to undergo reaction
  • C
    The energy it has to acquire further so that it can enter into an effective collision
  • D
    The energy gained by the molecules on colliding with another molecule

For an exothermic reaction $X \rightarrow Y$,the activation energy is $30 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. If the enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ for the reaction is $-20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,then the activation energy for the reverse reaction is . . . . . . $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.

Calculate the rate constant of a first-order reaction having a pre-exponential factor $A = 1.6 \times 10^{13} \ s^{-1}$ and $\frac{E_a}{2.303 RT} = 21$.

$A$ reaction has an activation energy of $209 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. The rate increases $10$-fold when the temperature is increased from $27^{\circ} C$ to $X^{\circ} C$. The temperature $X$ is closest to
[Gas constant,$R = 8.314 \, J \, mol^{-1} \, K^{-1}$ ]

The number of given statement/s which is/are correct is $.....$.
$(A)$ The stronger the temperature dependence of the rate constant,the higher is the activation energy.
$(B)$ If a reaction has zero activation energy,its rate is independent of temperature.
$(C)$ The stronger the temperature dependence of the rate constant,the smaller is the activation energy.
$(D)$ If there is no correlation between the temperature and the rate constant then it means that the reaction has negative activation energy.

If for a hypothetical reaction,$E_a = 0$ at $273 \ K$,then find the ratio of the rate constants at $383 \ K$ and $273 \ K$.
