Vedclass · Answer

(B) The Arrhenius equation is given by $k = A 	imes e^{-E_a/RT}$.Statement $(i)$ is incorrect because the rate of a zero-order reaction is independent of the concentration of the reactant.Statement $(ii)$ is correct because if $E_a = 0$,then $k = A 	imes e^0 = A$.Statement $(iii)$ is incorrect because if $E_a = \infty$,then $k = A 	imes e^{-\infty} = 0$.Statement $(iv)$ is incorrect because $\ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT}$,which shows that $\ln k$ is a function of $1/T$,not $T$.Statement $(v)$ is correct because the equation $\ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{R} 	imes (1/T)$ represents a straight line with a slope of $-E_a/R$ when plotting $\ln k$ versus $1/T$.Therefore,statements $(ii)$ and $(v)$ are correct.

Reason : Energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of reactant molecules.

The specific rate constant of decomposition of a compound is given by $\ln k = 5.0 - \frac{12000}{T}$. The activation energy of decomposition for this compound at $300 \ K$ is

For a reaction having three steps, the overall rate constant is $K = \frac{k_1 k_2}{k_3}$. The values of $E_{a1}$, $E_{a2}$ and $E_{a3}$ (activation energies for each step) are $40$, $50$ and $60 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ respectively. The overall activation energy $E_a$ of the reaction is:

For a reaction,the graph of $\ln k$ (on y-axis) and $1 / T$ (on x-axis) is a straight line with a slope $-2 \times 10^4 \ K$. The activation energy of the reaction (in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$) is $(R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1})$
