Collision theory is used to explain how chemical species undergo a reaction. Using this theory and the kinetic molecular model,which of the following does $NOT$ influence the rate of a chemical reaction?

  • A
    The temperature of the system
  • B
    The geometry or orientation of the collision
  • C
    The velocity of the reactants at the point of collision
  • D

What is the slope of the straight line for the graph drawn between $\ln k$ and $\frac{1}{T}$,where $k$ is the rate constant of a reaction at temperature $T$?

The following figure shows a graph of $\log_{10}K$ vs $\frac{1}{T}$,where $K$ is the rate constant and $T$ is the temperature. The straight line $BC$ has a slope,$\tan \theta = -\frac{1}{2.303}$,and an intercept of $5$ on the $Y$-axis. Thus,$E_a$,the energy of activation,is ....... $cal$.

$A$ reaction takes place in three steps with individual rate constant and activation energy,
Step Rate constant and Activation energy
$Step \ 1$ $k_1, E_{a_1} = 180 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$Step \ 2$ $k_2, E_{a_2} = 80 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$
$Step \ 3$ $k_3, E_{a_3} = 50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$

Overall rate constant,$k = (k_1 k_2 / k_3)^{2/3}$. The overall activation energy of the reaction will be ........ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
