For a first order reaction $(A \rightarrow B)$,the temperature $(T)$ dependent rate constant $(k)$ in $s^{-1}$ was found to follow the equation: $\log k = \left(-\frac{20}{T}\right)+4$. The activation energy $(E_a)$ and pre-exponential factor $(A)$ respectively,are

  • A
    $46.06 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$ and $10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$
  • B
    $92.12 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$ and $10^4 \ s^{-1}$
  • C
    $46.06 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$ and $10^4 \ s^{-1}$
  • D
    $9.212 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$ and $10^{-4} \ s^{-1}$
