Solution

The correct option is C $97.5 k J m o l^{- 1}$
$∵ {log}_{10} \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R} [\frac{T_{2} - T_{1}}{T_{2} T_{1}}]$
$⟹ {log}_{10} \frac{0.045}{0.58} = \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \times 8.314} [\frac{293 - 313}{293 \times 313}]$
$⟹ {log}_{10} 0.0776 = \frac{E_{a}}{19.147} [\frac{- 20}{293 \times 313}]$
$⟹ - 1.110 = \frac{E_{a}}{19.147} [\frac{- 20}{293 \times 313}]$
$⟹ E_{a} = 97.5 k J m o l^{- 1}$
