For a reaction,$A \rightarrow B$,the average energies of $A$ and $B$ are $30 \ kcal/mol$ and $60 \ kcal/mol$ respectively. The energy of activation for the backward reaction is $93 \ kcal/mol$. The energy of activation for the forward reaction is:

  • A
    $30 \ kcal/mol$
  • B
    $123 \ kcal/mol$
  • C
    $153 \ kcal/mol$
  • D
    $90 \ kcal/mol$

For the reaction $2NO + Cl_2 \rightarrow 2NOCl$,the rate is given by $Rate = K[NO]^2[Cl_2]$. How can the rate constant $(K)$ of the reaction be increased?

In most cases,for a rise of $10 \ K$ temperature,the rate constant is doubled or tripled. This is due to the reason that
