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

A

k against T

B

k against 1/log T

C

log k against 1/T

D

log k against I/logT

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

According to Arrhenius equation, `log k = (E_(a))/(2.303 RT) + log A`
Comparing it with straight lie equation y = mx + c, we get slope as `-E_(a)//2.303 R` on plotting log k vs. 1/T as shown.
