A heating element using nichrome connected to a 230 V supply draws an initial current of 3.2 A which settles after a few seconds to a steady value of 2.8 A. What Is the steady temperature of the heating element If the room temperature is 27.0^@C ?

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. If the rate of reaction doubles for 10^(@)C rise of temperature form 290K to 300K, the activation energy of the reaction will be approximately: a) 40 Kcal mol^(-1) b) 12 Kcal mol^(-1) c) 60 Kcal mol^(-1) d) 70 Kcal mol^(-1)
