The correct Answer is:
To analyze the given rate constant expression \( k = 2.1 \times 10^{10} \exp\left(-\frac{2700}{RT}\right) \), we can derive important information regarding the reaction kinetics using the Arrhenius equation. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Form of the Rate Constant**: The rate constant \( k \) is given in the form of the Arrhenius equation: \[ k = A \exp\left(-\frac{E_a}{RT}\right) \] where \( A \) is the pre-exponential factor, \( E_a \) is the activation energy, \( R \) is the gas constant, and \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. 2. **Extract Parameters**: From the given equation, we can identify: - Pre-exponential factor \( A = 2.1 \times 10^{10} \) - Activation energy \( E_a = 2700 \, \text{J/mol} \) 3. **Taking the Natural Logarithm**: To analyze the relationship between \( \log k \) and \( \frac{1}{T} \), we take the logarithm of both sides: \[ \log k = \log A - \frac{E_a}{2.303R} \cdot \frac{1}{T} \] 4. **Rearranging into Linear Form**: This can be rearranged into the linear form \( y = mx + c \): - Let \( y = \log k \) - Let \( x = \frac{1}{T} \) - Slope \( m = -\frac{E_a}{2.303R} \) - Intercept \( c = \log A \) 5. **Calculate the Slope**: Substituting the values: \[ m = -\frac{2700}{2.303R} \] 6. **Calculate the Intercept**: The intercept can be calculated as: \[ c = \log(2.1 \times 10^{10}) = \log 2.1 + \log(10^{10}) = \log 2.1 + 10 \] ### Conclusion: From the analysis, we can conclude: - The plot of \( \log k \) versus \( \frac{1}{T} \) will yield a straight line. - The slope of this line is \( -\frac{2700}{2.303R} \). - The intercept on the \( \log k \) axis is \( \log(2.1 \times 10^{10}) \). ### Options Analysis: 1. **Option A**: Correct - The slope is \( -\frac{2700}{2.303R} \). 2. **Option B**: Correct - The intercept is \( \log(2.1 \times 10^{10}) \). 3. **Option C**: Incorrect - The number of effective collisions is not directly represented by \( A \). 4. **Option D**: Incorrect - The half-life of the reaction does not necessarily increase with temperature.
