$A$ chemical reaction was carried out at $300 \, K$ and $280 \, K$. The rate constants were found to be $K_1$ and $K_2$ respectively. The energy of activation is $1.157 \times 10^4 \, cal \, mol^{-1}$ and $R = 1.987 \, cal \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$. Then:

  • A
    $K_2 \approx 0.25 K_1$
  • B
    $K_2 \approx 0.5 K_1$
  • C
    $K_2 \approx 4 K_1$
  • D
    $K_2 \approx 2 K_1$

When the temperature of a reaction is increased from $300 \ K$ to $310 \ K$,the rate of the reaction increases by $2.5$ times. If the rate constant of the reaction at $300 \ K$ is $K$,what will be the rate constant at $310 \ K$?

$A$ large increase in the rate of a reaction for a rise in temperature is due to:

According to the Arrhenius equation,a plot of the logarithm of the rate constant $(\log \, k)$ versus which of the following yields a straight line?

The temperature dependence of the rate constant $(k)$ of a chemical reaction is expressed by the Arrhenius equation,$k = A \cdot e^{-E^*/RT}$. The activation energy $(E^*)$ of the reaction can be calculated by plotting:

The rate constants for the decomposition of acetaldehyde have been measured over the temperature range $700-1000 \ K$. The data has been analysed by plotting a $\ln \ k \ vs \ \frac{10^{3}}{T}$ graph,which gives a slope of $-18.5$. The value of activation energy for the reaction is $...... \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
