JEE Advanced2009ChemistryChemical KineticsActual
For a first order reaction, A P , the temperature (T) dependent rate constant (k) was found to follow the equation, k=-(2000) / T+6.0 The pre-exponential factor A and the activation energy (E_a ) , respectively, are
Options
- A1.0 10^6 ~s ⁻¹ and 9.2 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- B6.0 ~s ⁻¹ and 16.6 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- C1.0 10^6 ~s ⁻¹ and 16.6 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
- D1.0 10^6 ~s ⁻¹ and 38.3 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
Correct answer
D. 1.0 10^6 ~s ⁻¹ and 38.3 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Comparing the slope and intercept of the given equation with the following Arrhenius equation : k=- E_a 2303 R T + A Hence, A=6 i.e. A=10^6 ~s ⁻¹ . Comparing slope gives E_a=38.3 ~kJ / mol .
