Consider the given plots for a reaction obeying Arrhenius equation $( 0 ° C < T < 300 ° C ) :$ ( $K$ and ${E}_{a}$ are rate constant and activetion energy, respectively )

(I)

(II) Consider the given plots for a reaction obeying Arrhenius equation ( 0 ° C (I) (II)

Options

AI is wrong but II is right
BBoth I and II are wrong
CI is right but II is wrong
DBoth I and II are correct

Correct answer

D. Both I and II are correct

Step-by-step solution

K = A{e}^{- {E}_{a} / RT}

K

decreases exponentially with

{E}_{a}

∴

The first graph is correct.

But temperature is given in

{}^{o}C

So,

K \ne 0

{0}^{o}C

∴

For temperature between

{0}^{o}C

and

{300}^{o}C,

the graph will come like (II)
