Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 41

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Using the Arrhenius equation: \(\log \left( \dfrac{k_2}{k_1} \right) = \dfrac{E_a}{2.3 R} \left( \dfrac{1}{T_1} - \dfrac{1}{T_2} \right)\) Given: \(k_1 = 1.5 \times 10^3 \text{ s}^{-1}\) \(k_2 = 4.5 \times 10^3 \text{ s}^{-1}\) \(T_1 = 27^\circ\text{C} = 300 \text{ K}\)…
