  • A
    $k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$
  • B
    $k = A e^{E_a / RT}$
  • C
    $k = A e^{-RT / E_a}$
  • D

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for every $10\,^{\circ}C$ rise of temperature. If the temperature is raised by $50\,^{\circ}C,$ the rate of the reaction increases by about ......... times.

The energies of activation for forward and reverse reactions for $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$ are $180 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $200 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. The presence of a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both (forward and reverse) reactions by $100 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}.$ The enthalpy change of the reaction $(A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB)$ in the presence of a catalyst will be (in $kJ \, mol^{-1}$)
