  1. A \(\ln \left(t_{1 / 2}\right) \propto \frac{1}{T}\)
  2. B \(\ln \left(t_{1 / 2}\right) \propto T\)
  3. C \(\left(t_{1 / 2}\right) \propto \frac{1}{T^2}\)
  4. D \(\left(t_{1 / 2}\right) \propto T^2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\ln \left(t_{1 / 2}\right) \propto \frac{1}{T}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a first order reaction, \(t_{1 / 2}=\frac{0.693}{k}\) Again, from Arrhenius equation, \(\Rightarrow\) Replacing \(\ln k\) in Eq. (i),…
