It has been found that for a chemical reaction with a rise in temperature by $9 \, K$,the rate constant gets doubled. Assuming a reaction to be occurring at $300 \, K$,the value of activation energy is found to be $...... \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. [nearest integer]
(Given $\ln 10 = 2.3, R = 8.3 \, J \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}, \log 2 = 0.30$ )

Which graph shows zero activation energy?

What is the term used for the minimum kinetic energy required for the reactant molecules to undergo a chemical reaction?

The rate constant of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation: $\log K = \text{constant} - \frac{E_a}{2.303 RT}$. If a plot of $\log K$ versus $1/T$ yields a straight line with a slope of $-5632$,then the activation energy of the reaction is .......... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
