The activation energy of a reaction can ...

The activation energy of a reaction can be determined from the slope of which of the following graphs ?

A

`(In K)/(T)` vs. T

B

In K vs. `(1)/(T)`

C

`(T)/(In K)` vs. `(1)/(T)`

D

In K vs. T

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Arrhenius equation
`K=A.e^(-E_(a) // RT)implies In K=InA-(E_(a))/(RT)`
`"slope=(-E_(a))/(R)`
so, activation energy of reaction can be determined from the slope of In K vs `(1)/(T)`
