For a first-order reaction,if the rate constant is $k_1$ at temperature $T_1$ and $k_2$ at temperature $T_2$,which of the following relations is correct? ($E_a$ = activation energy)

  • A
    $\log \frac{k_1}{k_2} = \frac{E_a}{2.303 R} \left( \frac{T_2 - T_1}{T_1 T_2} \right)$
  • B
    $\log \frac{k_1}{k_2} = \frac{E_a}{2.303 R} \left( \frac{T_1 - T_2}{T_1 T_2} \right)$
  • C
    $\log \frac{k_1}{k_2} = \frac{2.303 E_a}{R} \left( \frac{T_1 T_2}{T_2 + T_1} \right)$
  • D
    $\log \frac{k_1}{k_2} = \frac{E_a}{2.303 R} \left( \frac{T_1 T_2}{T_2 - T_1} \right)$
