NEET (UG) 2024 — Question 73

Activation energy of any chemical reaction can be calculated if one knows the value of

  1. Option A:

    rate constant at standard temperature

  2. Option B:

    probability of collision

  3. Option C:

    orientation of reactant molecules during collision

  4. Option D:

    rate constant at two different temperatures

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

To calculate value of Ea\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}

Equation used is

log⁡(k2k1)=Ea2.303R(1T1−1T2)\log \left(\frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}\right)=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R}\left(\frac{1}{T_{1}}-\frac{1}{T_{2}}\right)

Hence EaE_{a} can be calculated if value of rate constant kk is known at two different temperatures

T1T_{1} and T2\mathrm{T}_{2}.
