Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
k=AEa/RTe
log k=(EaR)1T+logA
Hence graph of log k versus 1T is linear, indicating the dependence of k with T.
Since slope= EaR, the activation energy can be calculated with this plot.
