MCQ
According to the Arrhenius equation,

($A$) a high activation energy usually implies a fast reaction.

($B$) rate constant increases with increase in temperature. This is due to a greater number of collisions whose energy exceeds the activation energy.

($C$) higher the magnitude of activation energy, stronger is the temperature dependence of the rate constant.

($D$) the pre-exponential factor is a measure of the rate at which collisions occur, irrespective of their energy.

  • A
    $B,C,A$
  • $B,C,D$
  • C
    $B,A,D$
  • D
    $B,C$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$B,C,D$
b
The correct options are

$B$ Rate constant increases with increase in temperature. This is due to a greater number of collisions whose energy exceeds the activation energy.

$C$ Higher the magnitude of activation energy, stronger is the temperature dependence of the rate constant

$D$ The pre-exponential factor is a measure of the rate at which collisions occur, irrespective of their energy.

According to Arrhenius Equation

$K = Ae ^{\frac{- E _{ a }}{ RT }}$
