Solution
The correct option is A5.68 Expression for rate constant at two different temperature is given by, log10k2k1=Ea2.303×R[T2−T1T1T2]
Given: k1=9.5×10−5s−1;k2=1.9×10−4s−1; R=8.314Jmol−1K−1; T1=407K and T2=420K
Substituting the values in above equation log101.9×10−49.5×10−5=Ea2.303×8.314[420−407420×407]
Ea=75531.05Jmol−1
Arrhenius equation of a reaction at 407K k1=Ae−Ea/RT1
Taking log on both sides, logk1=logA−Ea2.303RT1
Substituting the values, log(9.5×10−5)=logA−755312.303×8.314×407
