The enthalpy $(H)$ of an elementary exothermic reaction,$A \rightleftharpoons B$ is schematically plotted against the reaction coordinate. The plots in the presence and absence of a catalyst are shown in dashed and solid lines,respectively. Identify the correct plot for the reaction.

The rate of reaction is tripled for a $10^\circ C$ rise in temperature. The increase in the reaction rate if the temperature is increased by $60^\circ C$ is $............$ times.

The activation energy for the forward reaction is $150 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and that of the reverse reaction is $260 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. The enthalpy change for the reaction is:

The temperature dependence of the rate constant $k$ is expressed as $k = A e^{-E_a / RT}$. When a plot between $\log k$ and $1/T$ is plotted,we get the graph as shown. What is the value of the slope in the graph?

For reaction $A \to B$,rate constant $K_1 = A_1 e^{-E_{a_1}/RT}$ and for the reaction $X \to Y$,rate constant $K_2 = A_2 e^{-E_{a_2}/RT}$. If $A_1 = 10^8, A_2 = 10^{10}$ and $E_{a_1} = 600 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,$E_{a_2} = 1800 \ cal \ mol^{-1}$,then the temperature at which $K_1 = K_2$ is (given: $R = 2 \ cal \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$):

The specific rate constant of a first-order reaction depends on .......
