For the reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B$,if $E_a$ is the activation energy of the forward reaction,then the activation energy of the backward reaction is:

  • A
    $-E_a$
  • B
    Always less than $E_a$
  • C
    Can be more or less than $E_a$
  • D
    Always double of $E_a$

For a reaction,activation energy $E_a = 0$ and rate constant $K = 3.2 \times 10^6 \ s^{-1}$ at $300 \ K$. What is the value of the rate constant at $300 \ K$?

The rate of gas phase chemical reactions generally increases rapidly with a rise in temperature. This is mainly because

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles with every $10^{\circ}C$ rise in temperature. If the reaction is carried out in the vicinity of $22^{\circ}C$,the activation energy of the reaction is (Given $R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,$\ln 2 = 0.69$ and $\ln 3 = 1.1$)

Reactant $(A)$ produces two products. If $Ea_2 = 2 Ea_1$,then $K_1$ and $K_2$ are related as:
$A \xrightarrow{K_1} B$,activation energy: $Ea_1$
$A \xrightarrow{K_2} C$,activation energy: $Ea_2$

For the reaction $X \rightleftharpoons Y$,the pre-exponential factors for the forward and backward reactions are equal. What will be the equilibrium constant of the reaction?
