Statement 1: According to the transition state theory, for the formation of an activated complex, one of the vibrational degree of freedom is converted into the translational degree of freedom.
Statement 2: The energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of the reactant molecules.

A

Statement 1 is True, statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is Correct explanation for Statement 1.

B

Statement 1 is True, Statement 2 is True, Statement 2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement 1.

C

Statement is True, Statement 2 is False.

D

Statement is False, Statement 2 is True.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`A + B rarr X^(+) rarr` Products
The activaed complex `X^(+)` has higher energy than reactants. It is a special molecule which decomposes such that one vibrational degree of freedom is converted into translational degree of freedom along the reaction coordinate.

Rate of a reaction can be expressed by-Arrhenius equation , k=Ae ^ −Ea/RT. In this equation (Ea) represents (1)The total energy of the reacting molecules at a temperature. (2)The fraction of molecules with energy greater than the activation energy of the reaction. (3)The energy above which all the colliding molecules will react. (4)The energy below which colliding molecules will not react.
