Rate constant k of a reaction is dependent on temperatur:
`k=Ae^(Ea//RT)`
K has the least value at

A

high T and high `E_(a)`

B

high T and small `E_(a)`

C

low T and low `E_(a)`

D

low T and high `E_(a)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
We have the arrhenius equation,
`k=Ae^(-E_a//RT)`
`=Ae^(ET//E_(a))`
K becomes least when T is low and `E_(a)` is high.

Rate constant k of a reactionn is dependent on temperature k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) , k has the least value at

The rate of reaction increases isgnificantly with increase in temperature. Generally, rate of reactions are doubled for every 10^(@)C rise in temperature. Temperature coefficient gives us an idea about the change in the rate of a reaction for every 10^(@)C change in temperature. "Temperature coefficient" (mu) = ("Rate constant of" (T + 10)^(@)C)/("Rate constant at" T^(@)C) Arrhenius gave an equation which describes aret constant k as a function of temperature k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor or pre-exponential factor, E_(a) is the activation energy, T is the temperature in kelvin, R is the universal gas constant. Equation when expressed in logarithmic form becomes log k = log A - (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) For a reaction E_(a) = 0 and k = 3.2 xx 10^(8)s^(-1) at 325 K . The value of k at 335 K would be

Temperature coefficient gives us an idea about the change in the rate of a reaction for every 10^(@)C change in temperature. "Temperature coefficient" (mu) = ("Rate constant of" (T + 10)^(@)C)/("Rate constant at" T^(@)C) Arrhenius gave an equation which describes aret constant k as a function of temperature k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor or pre-exponential factor, E_(a) is the activation energy, T is the temperature in kelvin, R is the universal gas constant. Equation when expressed in logarithmic form becomes log k = log A - (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) Activation energies of two reaction are E_(a) and E_(a)' with E_(a) gt E'_(a) . If the temperature of the reacting systems is increased form T_(1) to T_(2) ( k' is rate constant at higher temperature).

Rate constant k of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation logk = constant -E_a/(2.303R)(1/T) where E_a is the energy of activation for the reaction . When a graph is plotted for log k versus 1/T , a straight line with a slope - 6670 K is obtained. Calculate the energy of activation for this reaction
