For reaction $A \to B$,rate constant $K_1 = A_1 e^{-E_{a_1}/RT}$ and for the reaction $X \to Y$,rate constant $K_2 = A_2 e^{-E_{a_2}/RT}$. If $A_1 = 10^8, A_2 = 10^{10}$ and $E_{a_1} = 600 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,$E_{a_2} = 1800 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,then the temperature at which $K_1 = K_2$ is (given: $R = 2 \ cal \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$):

  • A
    $1200 \ K$
  • B
    $1200 \times 4.606 \ K$
  • C
    $\frac{1200}{4.606} \ K$
  • D
    $\frac{600}{4.606} \ K$

Which plot of $\ln k$ vs $\frac{1}{T}$ is consistent with the Arrhenius equation?

The rate constant,$k$ for a first order reaction,$C_2H_5I_{(g)} \rightarrow C_2H_{4(g)} + HI_{(g)}$ is $x \ s^{-1}$ at $600 \ K$ and $4x \ s^{-1}$ at $700 \ K$. The energy of activation of the reaction (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) is (in $.16$)

Energy of activation of a reactant is reduced by

An exothermic reaction $X \rightarrow Y$ has an activation energy of $30 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. If the energy change $\Delta E$ during the reaction is $-20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,then the activation energy for the reverse reaction in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$ is $...$.

For the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2 AB$,the activation energies $(E_a)$ for the forward and backward reactions are $180 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $200 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ respectively. If a catalyst lowers the $E_a$ for both reactions by $100 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,which of the following statements is correct?
