The activation energy `E_(a)` of a reaction can be calculated by plotting

A

against T

B

k against 1 /log T

C

log k against 1 /T

D

log k against 1 /log T

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
According to Arrhenius equation log k =`(E_(a))/(2.3030 RT) + log A`
Compariring it with equation =mx+c we get slope as `-E_(a)//2.303 R` on plotting log k vs 1/T
