Reactant $A$ shows two reactions:
$A \xrightarrow{K_1} B$,activation energy $= Ea_1$
$A \xrightarrow{K_2} C$,activation energy $= Ea_2$
If $Ea_1 = \frac{Ea_2}{3}$,then the relation between $K_1$ and $K_2$ is:

  • A
    $K_2 = K_1 \, e^{Ea_1/RT}$
  • B
    $K_2 = K_1 \, e^{2Ea_1/RT}$
  • C
    $K_1 = K_2 \, e^{2Ea_1/RT}$
  • D
    $K_1 = 2K_2 \, e^{Ea_1/RT}$
