A graph is plotted between \(\text{ln}\ k\) and \(\frac{1}{T}\). What is the value of slope?

  1. A \(\text{Slope} = \frac{E_a}{R}\)
  2. B \(\text{Slope} = -\frac{E_a}{R}\)
  3. C \(\text{Slope} = \frac{k}{R}\)
  4. D \(\text{Slope} = -\frac{k}{R}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(\text{Slope} = -\frac{E_a}{R}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\text{Arrhenius equation: } k = A e^{-E_a/(RT)}\) \(\text{Taking natural logarithm: } \ln k = \ln A - \frac{E_a}{RT}\) \(\text{Rearranging to } y = mx + c \text{ form: } \ln k = \left(-\frac{E_a}{R}\right) \left(\frac{1}{T}\right) + \ln A\)…
