The rate constant for the decomposition of a hydrocarbon is given as $K = (4.5 \times 10^{11} \ s^{-1}) e^{-(28000 \ K) / T}$. The activation energy of the reaction (in $J/mol$) is:

  • A
    $28000$
  • B
    $28000 \times (8.314)^2$
  • C
    $28000 \times 8.314$
  • D
    $28000 / 8.314$

According to the Arrhenius equation,which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ $A$ high activation energy usually implies a fast reaction.
$(B)$ Rate constant increases with increase in temperature. This is due to a greater number of collisions whose energy exceeds the activation energy.
$(C)$ Higher the magnitude of activation energy,stronger is the temperature dependence of the rate constant.
$(D)$ The pre-exponential factor is a measure of the rate at which collisions occur,irrespective of their energy.
