Half life of a first order reaction is $900 \ \text{min}$ at $400 \ K$. Find its half life at $300 \ K$. Given: $\frac{E_a}{2.303 \ R} = 1.3056 \times 10^3 \ K$. (in $\text{min}$)

Which of the following statements is correct regarding the Arrhenius equation and reaction kinetics?

The half-life periods of a first order reaction at $300 \ K$ and $400 \ K$ are $50 \ s$ and $10 \ s$ respectively. The activation energy of the reaction in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$ is $(\log 5 = 0.70)$

For the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftarrows 2AB$,the activation energy for the forward and backward reactions are $180 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $200 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,respectively. If a catalyst lowers the activation energy of both forward and backward reactions by $100 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,what will be the enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ for the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB$ in the presence of the catalyst?

On introducing a catalyst at $500 \, K,$ the rate constant of a first order reaction increases $2.718$ times. If the activation energy in the presence of a catalyst is $4.15 \, kJ \, mol^{-1},$ then what will be $E_a$ in the absence of a catalyst? (Value of $e = 2.718$ and $R = 8.314 \times 10^{-3} \, kJ \, K^{-1} \, mol^{-1}$)
