The rate of a reaction A doubles on increasing the temperature from300to310K300to310K. By how much, the temperature of reaction B should be increased from 300K300K so that rate doubles if activation energy of the reaction B is twice to that of reaction A.

Options

  1. A4.92K4 . 92K
  2. B9.84K9 . 84K
  3. C19.67K19 . 67K
  4. D2.45K2 . 45K

Correct answer

A. 4.92K4 . 92K

Step-by-step solution

log⁡2=EaR{1300−1310}\log 2 = \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{R}\left\{\dfrac{1}{300} - \dfrac{1}{310}\right\} .......(i)

log⁡2=2[EaR{1300−1T}]\log 2 =2 \left[\dfrac{{E}_{a}}{R}\left\{\dfrac{1}{300} - \dfrac{1}{T}\right\}\right] ......(ii)

2EaR{1300−1T}=EaR{1300−1310}\dfrac{2{E}_{a}}{R}\left\{\dfrac{1}{300} - \dfrac{1}{T}\right\} = \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{R}\left\{\dfrac{1}{300} - \dfrac{1}{310}\right\}

1300+1310=2T\dfrac{1}{300} + \dfrac{1}{310} = \dfrac{2}{T}

⇒T=300×310610×2⇒ T = \dfrac{300 \times 310}{610} \times 2

=304.92= 304.92

Hence, the temperature of reaction B should be increased from 300K300K by 304.92−300=4.92K304 . 92 - 300 = 4 . 92K.
