Correct statements regarding Arrhenius equation among the following are : Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
- A and B Only
- B and D Only
- B and C Only
- A and C Only
Answer
(3) B and C Only
Solution
Arrhenius equation: k = A e-Ea/RT
A. As per NCERT, the factor e-Ea/RT is the fraction of molecules having kinetic energy equal to or greater than Ea (not less than Ea). Incorrect.
B. At a given T, a lower Ea gives a larger e-Ea/RT larger k faster reaction. Correct.
C. As per NCERT, for a chemical reaction, a rise in temperature by 10 nearly doubles the rate constant (rate). Correct.
D. k = A - Ea2.303RT
the plot of k vs 1T has slope = - Ea2.303R (slope - EaR is for k vs 1T). Incorrect.
B and C only are correct.
