The activation energy for a reaction at the temperature T ~K was found to be 2.303 RT J mol ⁻¹ . The ratio of the rate constant to Arrhenius factor is
Options
- A10⁻¹
- B10⁻²
- C2 10⁻³
- D2 10⁻²
Correct answer
A. 10⁻¹
Step-by-step solution
Arrhenius equation is, rate constant, aligned & k =A e ^ - E _ a / RT & k = Ae ^ -2.303 RT / RT & k A = e ^ -2.303 aligned On solving, we get k A =10⁻¹
