MCQ
Equilibrium constant at $27\,^oC$ and $127\,^oC$ is $30$ and $40$ respectively, then the ratio of activation energy $E_a$ (forward) / $E_a$ (backward) will be
  • $>\,1$
  • B
    $-1$
  • C
    $<\,1$
  • D
    Data is insufficient

Answer

Correct option: A.
$>\,1$
a
$\mathrm{T}_{1}=27\,^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ;\left(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eg}}\right)_{1}=30$

$\mathrm{T}_{2}=127\,^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ;\left(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}}\right)_{2}=40$

reaction is endothermic $\left(\mathrm{k}_{\mathrm{eq}} \propto \mathrm{T}\right)$

${\Delta \mathrm{H}=\left(\mathrm{E}_{0}\right)_{\mathrm{f}}-\left(\mathrm{E}_{2}\right)_{0}=+\mathrm{ve}} $

${\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{q}}\right)_{\mathrm{t}}>\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{s}}\right)_{\mathrm{b}}} $

${\frac{\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}\right)_{\mathrm{f}}}{\left(\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{a}}\right)_{\mathrm{b}}}>1}$
