If a reaction follows the Arrhenius equation, the plot k vs 1 ( RT ) gives straight line with a gradient (- y ) unit. The energy required to activate the reactant is:
Options
- Ay / R unit
- By unit
- CyR unit
- D-y unit
Correct answer
B. y unit
Step-by-step solution
From Arrhenius equation, k=A e^ -E_ n / R T k= A- E_ a R T slope =-y (given) -y=-E_ s E _ a =y
