The plot of logkf versus 1T for a reversible reaction A(g)P(g) is shown.

Pre-exponential factors for the forward and backward reactions are 1015 s-1 and 1011 s-1, respectively. If the value of logK for the reaction at 500 K is 6, the value of logkb at 250 K is
K=equilibrium constant of the reaction, kf=rate constant of forward reaction, Kb=rate constant of backward reaction]

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 5

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

From the question
\(\text{A}_\text f=10^{15},\text A_\text b=10^{11},\quad\text f=\text {Forward reaction} \)
\( \log\text K \text { at } 500\text K=6~~\qquad\text b=\text {Backward reaction}\)
\(\log\text k _{\text f }\) at \(500\text K=9(\) from graph \()\)
\(\operatorname{logk}_{\text b }\) at \(500\text K:\)
\(\log\text K =\log \left(\frac{\text k _{\text f }}{\text k _{\text b }}\right)\) since \(\Rightarrow K =\frac{ k _{ f }}{ k _{ b }}\) 6=logkf-logkb
