Rate constant for a chemical reaction taking place at 500 K is expressed as k=A*e^(-1000) . The activation energy of the reaction is yxx 10^(6)"cal mol"^(-1) . y is ______. [R=2"cal mol"^(-1)K^(-1)]

For a reaction, the rate constant is expressed as k = Ae^(-40000//T) . The energy of the activation is

The temperature dependence of rate constant (k) of a chemical reaction is written in terms of Arrhenius equation, k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT)) Activation energy (E_(a)) of the reaction can be calculate by plotting

The rate constant (K') of one reaction is double of the rate constant (K") of another reaction. Then the relationship between the corresponding activation energies of the two reactions (E_(a)^(') "and" E_(a)^('')) will be

Arrhenius studied the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperture exponentially as K=A.e^(-Ea//RT) . This method is generally used for finding the activation energy of reaction . Keeping temperature constant , effect of catalyst on activation energy has also been studied. If the rate of reaction double for rise of temperature from 500K to 1000K, the activation energy of the reaction will be approximately [ln2=0.7]
