Rate of a reaction can be expressed by-Arrhenius equation , k=Ae ^ −Ea/RT. In this equation `(Ea)` represents (1)The total energy of the reacting molecules at a temperature. (2)The fraction of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy of the reaction. (3)The energy above which all the colliding molecules will react. (4)The energy below which colliding molecules will not react.

A

the total energy of the reacting molecules at a temperature

B

the tion of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy of the reaction

What is the fraction of molecules having energy equal to or greater than activation energy Ea. What is this quantity called?

The effect of temperature on rate of reaction is given by Arrhenius equation. Define activation energy(Ea)

The activation energy for the reaction, 2HI(g)toH_2(g)+I_2(g) is 209.5kj mol^(-1) at 581 K.Calculate the fraction of molecules of reactant having energy equal to or greater than activation energy.

The rate constant of a reaction are 1xx10^(-3)s^(-1) and 2xx10^(-3)s^(-1) at 27^@C and 37^@C respectively.Calculate the activation energy of the reaction.

For the first order reaction A to B + C , carried out at 27°C, 3.8 xx 10^(-16) % of the reactant molecules exists in the activated state. The E_a (activation energy) of the reaction is:

In some cases, it is found that a large number of colliding molecules have energy more than threshold value, yet the reaction is slow. Why?

"Activation energies are low for fast reaction and high for slow reactions" a) Justify the statement. b) The rate of a reaction quadruples when the temperature changes from 310 K to 330 K. Calculate the activation, energy of the reaction R=8.314 Jk^(-1) (mol)^(-1)

Assertion: A gas can be easily liquified at any temperature below its critical temperature. Reason : Liquifaction of gas takes place when the average kinetic energy of the molecule is low.

Assertion : E_(a) of the forward reaction is higher than that backward reaction in a reversible endothermic reaction. Reason: Increasing the temperature of the substance increase the fraction of molecules which collide with energies greater than E_(a) .

Out of O_2 and N_2 molecules which is expected to have greater bond energy? Explain why it is so.
