Q.

Activation energy of any chemical reaction can be calculated if one knows the value of             [2024]

1 rate constant at standard temperature  
2 probability of collision  
3 orientation of reactant molecules during collision  
4 rate constant at two different temperatures  

Ans.

(4)

The activation energy of a reaction can be determined by evaluating the rate constant at two different temperatures by using the following expression:

logk2k1=Ea2.303R[T2-T1T1T2]
