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:

  • A
    $\log \, k$ vs $\frac{1}{T}$
  • B
    $k$ vs $T$
  • C
    $k$ vs $\frac{1}{\log \, T}$
  • D
    $\log \, k$ vs $T$

The rate constant of a first-order reaction is $1.5 \times 10^7 \text{ s}^{-1}$ at $300 \text{ K}$ and $3.0 \times 10^7 \text{ s}^{-1}$ at $330 \text{ K}$. What is the activation energy $(E_a)$ for the reaction? $[R \times 2.303 = 19.15 \text{ J K}^{-1} \text{mol}^{-1}]$

The activation energy of a first-order reaction at $25\,^{\circ}C$ is $30\,kJ/mol$. In the presence of a catalyst,the activation energy of the same reaction at $25\,^{\circ}C$ becomes $24\,kJ/mol$. The rate of the reaction in the presence of the catalyst will be how many times the original rate?
