The rate constant is given by the equation `k = P.Ze^(-E_(a)//RT)`. Which factor should register a decrease for the reaction to proceed more rapidly?

A

T

B

2

C

E

D

P

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
`k=p.Z.e^(-E_(a)//RT)`, in this equation k is inversely related to E. so decrease in E will result in increase of k.

In the Arrhenius equation: k = A exp(-E_(a)//RT) , the rate constant

A colliison between reactant molecules must occur with a certain minimum energy before it is effective in yielding Product molecules. This minimum energy is called activation energy E_(a) Large the value of activation energy, smaller the value of rate constant k . Larger is the value of activation energy, greater is the effect of temperature rise on rate constant k . E_(f) = Activation energy of forward reaction E_(b) = Activation energy of backward reaction Delta H = E_(f) - E_(b) E_(f) = threshold energy The rate constant of a certain reaction is given by k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) (where A = Arrhenius constant).

Arrhenius studies the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulted that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as k=Ae^(E_(a)//RT) . Thuis 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. The pre-exponetial factor in the Arrhenius equation of a first order reaction has the unit :

The rate of reaction increases isgnificantly with increase in temperature. Generally, rate of reactions are doubled for every 10^(@)C rise in temperature. Temperature coefficient gives us an idea about the change in the rate of a reaction for every 10^(@)C change in temperature. "Temperature coefficient" (mu) = ("Rate constant of" (T + 10)^(@)C)/("Rate constant at" T^(@)C) Arrhenius gave an equation which describes aret constant k as a function of temperature k = Ae^(-E_(a)//RT) where k is the rate constant, A is the frequency factor or pre-exponential factor, E_(a) is the activation energy, T is the temperature in kelvin, R is the universal gas constant. Equation when expressed in logarithmic form becomes log k = log A - (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) Activation energies of two reaction are E_(a) and E_(a)' with E_(a) gt E'_(a) . If the temperature of the reacting systems is increased form T_(1) to T_(2) ( k' is rate constant at higher temperature).
