For an endothermic reaction,the energy of activation is $E_a$ and the enthalpy of reaction is $\Delta H$ (both in $kJ/mol$). The minimum value of $E_a$ will be:

  • A
    less than $\Delta H$
  • B
    equal to $\Delta H$
  • C
    more than $\Delta H$
  • D
    equal to zero

What is the slope of the graph between $\ln K$ and $\frac{1}{T}$ according to the Arrhenius equation?

Assertion : According to transition state theory for the formation of an activated complex,one of the vibrational degrees of freedom is converted into a translational degree of freedom.
Reason : Energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of reactant molecules.

For a first order chemical reaction,

For a first order reaction $A \rightarrow P$,the temperature $(T)$ dependent rate constant $(k)$ was found to follow the equation $\log_{10} k = -(2000) \frac{1}{T} + 6$. The activation energy $(E_a)$ of the reaction in $kJ \, mol^{-1}$ will be ......... (Given: $\ln x = 2.3 \times \log_{10} x$ and $R = 8 \, J \, mol^{-1} K^{-1}$)

The rate constant of a reaction varies with temperature according to the equation: $\log K = \text{constant} - \frac{E_a}{2.303 RT}$. If a plot of $\log K$ versus $1/T$ yields a straight line with a slope of $-5632$,then the activation energy of the reaction is .......... $kJ \ mol^{-1}$.
