Rate constant k of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation
logk = constant `-E_a/(2.303R)(1/T)`
where `E_a` is the energy of activation for the reaction . When a graph is plotted for log k versus `1/T` , a straight line with a slope - 6670 K is obtained. Calculate the energy of activation for this reaction

To solve the problem, we need to find the energy of activation (Ea) using the given slope from the graph of log k versus 1/T. The equation provided is: \[ \log k = \text{constant} - \frac{E_a}{2.303R} \left( \frac{1}{T} \right) \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Slope from the Graph**: - From the problem, we know that the slope (m) of the graph of log k versus 1/T is given as -6670 K. ...
