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

The activation energy of a reaction is zero. The rate constant of the reaction:

(A) If the activation energy of a reaction is zero, temperature has no effect on the rate constant. (R ) Lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction.

Arrhenius studied the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) . For most of the reactions it was found that the temperature coefficient of the reaction lies between 2 to 3. The method is generally used for finding the activation energy of a reaction. Keeping temperature constant, the effect of catalyst on the activation energy has also been studied by studying how much the rate of reaction changes in the presence of catalyst. In most of the cases, it is observed that catalyst lowers the activationenergy barrier and increases the rate of reaction. If the rate oc reaction grwos 15.6 times on increasing the temperature by 30 K the temperature coefficient of the reaction will be nearly

____of a reaction cannot be determined experimentally.

Explain the term 'activation energy' of a reaction with a suitable diagram.

The rate constants for a reaction at 400 K and 500 K are 2 . 60 xx 10^(-5) s^(-1) and 2.60 xx 10^(-3) s^(-1) respectively. The activation energy of the reaction in kJ mol^(-1) is

A: Lesser the activation energy, greater is the rate of reaction R: Activation energy of a reaction is independent of temperature
