For the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$,the activation energies for the forward and backward reactions are $180 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $200 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. In the presence of a catalyst,the activation energy for both (forward and backward) reactions decreases 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 a catalyst in $kJ \, mol^{-1}$?

An endothermic reaction $A \to B$ has an activation energy of $15 \ kcal/mol$ and an enthalpy change of reaction of $5 \ kcal/mol$. The activation energy of the reverse reaction $B \to A$ is ......... $kcal/mol$.

For a first-order gaseous reaction,a plot of $\log \, k$ versus $1/T$ gives a straight line with a slope of $-8000$. Calculate the activation energy $(E_a)$ of the reaction in $cal$.

It is found that for every $10^{\circ}C$ rise in temperature,the rate of the reaction doubles itself. This is mainly because

The rate constant for the decomposition of $N_{2}O_{5}$ at various temperatures is given below:
