A graph is plotted between log versus for calculation of activation energy \left({E}_{a}\right)$. The correct plot is




Options
- A

- B

- C

- D

Correct answer
B. 
Step-by-step solution
According to Arrhenius equation,
and
, the equation of straight line
The value of log should increase uniformily with or decrease with .
& & & & & & & & 
From this, that the slope is negative, which means that angle with x - axis is greater than 90° also that the point on which the straight line of graph intercepts the y - axis is log A which is positive.
Hence all the conclusions point out towards option b as it has negative slope and a positive y intercept.
