The equilibrium constant K for the reversible reaction A=B is 2 10^3 at 350 K . The rate constants of the forward reaction in the presence and absence of a suitable catalyst at the same temperature are 5 10^4 ~s ⁻¹ and 4 10⁻⁶ ~s ⁻¹ respectively. The rate constant of the reverse reaction in the absence of the catalyst is
Options
- A2 10⁻⁹ ~s ⁻¹
- B2.5 10⁻¹ ~s ⁻¹
- C1.6 10⁻⁷ ~s ⁻¹
- D1.25 10⁻² ~s ⁻¹
