Two reactions A `rarr` Products and `Brarr` products have rate constants `k_(A)` and `k_(B)` respectively at temperature T and activation energies `E_(A)` and `E_(B)` respectively . If `k_(A) gt K_(B)` and `E_(A) lt E_(B)` and assuming that A for both the reactions is same then :

Options

A. at higher temperature `k_(A)` will be greater than `k_(B)`
B. at lower temperature `k_(A)` and `k_(B)` will be close to each other in magnitude
C. as temperature increases `k_(A)` and `k_(B)` will become close to each other in magnitude .
D. at lower temperature `k_(b) gt k_(A)`

Answer

B
