The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the Arrhenius equation, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the Arrhenius Equation The Arrhenius equation is given by: \[ k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \] where: - \( k \) is the rate constant, - \( A \) is the pre-exponential factor, - \( E_a \) is the activation energy, - \( R \) is the universal gas constant, - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin. ### Step 2: Take the Natural Logarithm Taking the natural logarithm of both sides gives: \[ \ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT} \] ### Step 3: Differentiate with Respect to Temperature (T) Now, we differentiate the equation with respect to \( T \): - The term \( \ln A \) is a constant, so its derivative is 0. - The term \( -\frac{E_a}{RT} \) needs to be differentiated. Using the quotient rule: \[ \frac{d}{dT}\left(-\frac{E_a}{RT}\right) = -E_a \cdot \frac{d}{dT}\left(\frac{1}{RT}\right) \] The derivative of \( \frac{1}{RT} \) with respect to \( T \) is: \[ \frac{d}{dT}\left(\frac{1}{T}\right) = -\frac{1}{T^2} \] Thus, \[ \frac{d}{dT}\left(-\frac{E_a}{RT}\right) = -E_a \cdot \left(-\frac{1}{R T^2}\right) = \frac{E_a}{RT^2} \] ### Step 4: Write the Final Expression So, we have: \[ \frac{d \ln k}{dT} = \frac{E_a}{RT^2} \] ### Conclusion This expression indicates how the natural logarithm of the rate constant \( k \) changes with temperature \( T \). ### Final Answer The Arrhenius equation leads to the result: \[ \frac{d \ln k}{dT} = \frac{E_a}{RT^2} \] ---
