The activation energy for a reaction which doubles the rate when the temperature is raised from 300 K to 310 K is

A

`50.6 kJ mol^(-1)`

B

`53.6 kJ mol^(-1)`

C

`56.6 kJ mol^(-1)`

D

`59.6 kJ mol^(-1)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`E_(a) = (2.303 R T_(1)T_(2))/(Delta T) log""(k_(2))/(k_(1)) = ((2.303 xx 8.314 xx 300 xx 310)/(10)log2) J mol^(-1) = 53600 J mol^(-1) = 53.6 kJ mol^(-1)`
