Arrhenius studies the effect of temperature on the rate of a reaction and postulated that rate constant varies with temperature exponentially as `k=Ae^(-E_(a)//RT)` . This 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.
If x is the fraction of molecules having energy greater than `E_(a)` it will be given by :
a) `x=-(E_(a))/(RT)`
b) In `x=-(E_(a))/(RT)`
c) `x=e^(E_(a)//RT)`
d) Any of these

Options

A. `x=-(E_(a))/(RT)`
B. In `x=-(E_(a))/(RT)`
C. `x=e^(E_(a)//RT)`
D. Any of these

Answer

B
