Solution
The correct option is AA=2.64×109M−1s−1 The figure below shows a plot between in k against 1/T. It can be seen that it is a straight line with slop = -20.62 K and therefore, its activity energy. Ea=−(−20.62)×8.314Jmol−1K−1 =171400Jmol−1or171.4kJmol−1 We can now calculate the value of A From the value ofk at 667 K. In A = In k+EaRT=logA=logk+EaRT log A = log (−9.2103)+171400Jmol−1(8.314Jmol−1K−1)×667K Solve for log A and then take antilog ∴A=2.64×109M−1s−1
