Activation energy (E_a ) and rate constants (k₁ . and .k₂ ) of a chemical reaction at two different temperatures (T₁ . and .T₂ ) are related by
Options
- Ak₂ k₁ =- E_a R ( 1 T₁ - 1 T₂ )
- Bk₂ k₁ =- E_a R ( 1 T₂ - 1 T₁ )
- Ck₂ k₁ =- E_a R ( 1 T₂ + 1 T₁ )
- DNone of the above
Correct answer
B. k₂ k₁ =- E_a R ( 1 T₂ - 1 T₁ )
Step-by-step solution
According to Arrhenius equation, activation energy (E_a ) and rate constants (k₁ . and .k₂ ) of a chemical reaction at two different temperatures ( T₁ and .T₂ ) are related as aligned k₂ k₁ & = E_a R ( 1 T₁ - 1 T₂ ) & =- E_a R ( 1 T₂ - 1 T₁ ) aligned
