Activation energy of a chemical reaction can be determined by ______________.
  • A
    Determining the rate constant at standard temperature.
  • B
    Determining the rate constants at two temperatures.
  • C
    Determining probability of collision.
  • D
    Using catalyst.
Answer
  1. Determining the rate constants at two temperatures.

Explanation:

Activation energy of a chemical reaction is related to rate constant of a reaction at two different temperatures i.e., Kand Krespectively.

Solution:

$\log\frac{\text{k}_2}{\text{k}_1}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{a}}{2.303}\Big(\frac{1}{\text{T}_1}-\frac{1}{\text{T}_2}\Big)$

Where, Ea = activation energy.

T2 = higher temprature

T1 = lower temprature

K1 = rate constant at temprature T1

K2 = rate constant at temprature T2

The equation is known as Arrehenius equation.

MCQ 101 Mark
The maximum value of activation energy is equal to:
  • A
    Zero
  • B
    Heat of reaction
  • C
    Threshold energy
  • D
    None of these
Answer
  1. None of these

Explanation:

Activation energy may be greater than heat of reaction or lesser than threshold energy.

At room temperature, most of the molecules have less than the threshold value.

Hence, if energy is supplied to the reactant molecules in the form of light or heat, they absorb that energy and reach a higher energy level which is equal to or greater than the threshold energy level, is called as activation energy.

Activation energy (Ea​) = Threshold energy - Average kinetic energy of molecules

Which of the following is not correct reason for the substantially lower rate of reaction than the collision frequency?
  • A
    All the collisions do not attain threshold energy level.
  • B
    The activated complex formed is short lived.
  • C

Explanation:

If there is substantially lower rate of reaction than the collision frequency then the activated complex formed will be long-lived and the reaction will proceed at a slower rate.

Because of low energy, the activated complex exists for an extremely long period of time and activated complex will neither reforms to form products.

The rate of a reaction can be defined as the change in concentration of a reactant of product in unit time. To be more specific, it can be expressed in term of:

  1. The rate of decrease in concentration of any one of the reactants, or
  2. The rate of increase in concentration of any one of the products. Concentration of reactant decreases with the passage of time, we can say that the rate is also decreasing.

Explanation:

The integrated rate law for the first order reaction is [A] = [A]0e−kt.

Substituting the value of [A] = a − x and [A]0​ = a in the above expression.

We get, a − x = ae−kt.
