JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 12 - 3. Chemical kinetics

Consider the following plots of log of rate constant \(\mathrm{k}(\log \mathrm{k})\) vs \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}\) for three different reactions. The correct order of activation energies of these reactions is which?

  1. A \(\mathrm{Ea}_2 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_1 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_3\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{Ea}_1 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_3 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{Ea}_1 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_2 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_3\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{Ea}_3 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_2 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_1\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\mathrm{Ea}_2 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_1 \gt \mathrm{Ea}_3\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{K}=\mathrm{A} \mathrm{e}^{-\mathrm{E} a \mathrm{RT}} \\ & \operatorname{logk}=\log \mathrm{A}-\frac{\mathrm{Ea}}{2.303 \mathrm{RT}} \end{aligned}\) For graph between logk with \(\frac{1}{\mathrm{~T}}\)…
