MCQ
The rate constant is doubled when temperature increases from $27\,^oC$ to $37\,^oC.$  Activation energy in $kJ$ is
  • A
    $34$
  • $54$
  • C
    $100$
  • D
    $50$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$54$
b
$\log \frac{{{K_2}}}{{{K_1}}} = \frac{{{E_a}}}{{2.303R}}\left[ {\frac{1}{{{T_1}}} - \frac{1}{{{T_2}}}} \right]$

If $\frac{{{K_2}}}{{{K_1}}} = 2$

$\log 2 = \frac{{{E_a}}}{{2.303 \times 8.314}}\left[ {\frac{1}{{300}} - \frac{1}{{310}}} \right]$

${E_a} = .3010 \times 2.303 \times 8.314\left( {\frac{{300 \times 310}}{{10}}} \right)$

$ = 53598.59\;J\,mo{l^{ - 1}}$

$ = 54\;kJ$.
