Solution

The correct option is D 160.8Jmol1
Expression for rate constant at two different temperature is given by,
log10k2k1=Ea2.303×R[T2T1T1T2]
Given:
k1=3×104s1k2=6×105s1;
R=8.314Jmol1K1;
T1=400K
T2=300K
Substituting the values in above equation
log106×1053×104=Ea2.303×8.314[300400300×400]

Ea=log(0.2)×2.303×8.314×12

Ea=160.836Jmol1
