Solution
The correct option is CT=310.95K According to Arrhenius equation, k=Ae−Ea/RT
or logek=logeA−EaRT
or 2.303log10k=2.303log10A−EaRT
For a first order reaction t1/2=0.693k t1/2=10min=600sec
So, k=0.693600sec−1=1.1×10−3sec−1
Hence, log(1.1×10−3)=log(4×1013)−98.6×1032.303×8.314×T T=310.95K
Thus (c) is correct.
