Which of the following would give a linear plot?
($k$ is the rate constant of an elementary reaction and $T$ is temperature in absolute scale)

In a reaction,the rate of reaction doubles with a $10^\circ C$ rise in temperature. If the temperature is increased from $10^\circ C$ to $100^\circ C$,by how many times will the rate of reaction increase?

At $25\,^{\circ}C$,the values of rate constant,activation energy and Arrhenius constant of a reaction are $3 \times 10^{-4}\, s^{-1}$,$129\, kJ/mol$ and $2 \times 10^{15}\, s^{-1}$ respectively. The value of rate constant as $T \to \infty$ is

The decomposition of a hydrocarbon follows the equation $k = (4.5 \times 10^{11} \ s^{-1}) e^{-28000 \ K / T}$. Calculate the activation energy $E_a$.

The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$ are $180 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $200 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. The presence of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by $100 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}.$ The enthalpy change of the reaction $(A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB)$ in the presence of a catalyst will be (in $kJ \, mol^{-1}$)
