Solution

The correct option is A 5.68
Expression for rate constant at two different temperature is given by,
log10k2k1=Ea2.303×R[T2T1T1T2]
Given: k1=9.5×105s1;k2=1.9×104s1;
R=8.314Jmol1K1;
T1=407K and T2=420K
Substituting the values in above equation
log101.9×1049.5×105=Ea2.303×8.314[420407420×407]

Ea=75531.05Jmol1
Arrhenius equation of a reaction at 407 K
k1=AeEa/RT1
Taking log on both sides,
logk1=logAEa2.303RT1

Substituting the values,
log(9.5×105)=logA755312.303×8.314×407

4.02=logA9.7

logA=5.68
Hence, (a) is correct.
