A catalyst decreases activation energy by 15 Kcal and it is observed that rate of reaction in absence of catalyst at 400K is same as rate of reaction in presence of catalyst at 300 K. The activation energy in absence of catalyst will be :

Which of the following factors are responsible for the increase in the rate of a surface catalysed reaction? (i) A catalyst provides proper orientation for the reactant molecules to react. (ii) heat of adsorption of reactants on a catalyst helps reactant molecules to overcome activation energy. (iii) The catalyst increases the activation energy of the reactio.

Assertion- Enzymes lowers the activation energy of the reaction. Reason- Higher activation energy helps the molecules to react with greater rate.

A chemical reaction occur at the same rate at 500K as at 300K" in presence of catalyst.If catalyst decreases the activation energy by "35kJ/mole , then calculate the activation energy of uncatalysed reaction (in kJ/mole)

A catalyst lowers the activation energy for a certain reaction from 75 kJ to 25" kJ mol"^(–1) . What will be the effect on the rate of reaction at 25^(@)C , after things being equal.

Assertion (A) : If the activation energy of a reaction is zero, temperature will have no effect on the rate constant. Reason (R ): Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.
