Solution

The correct option is B ln k2k1=EaR(T2T1T1.T2)
Arrhenius equation:
k=AeEaRT

Taking natural log on both side,
ln k=ln(AeEaRT)
ln k=ln AEaRT
Let us consider, for a particular reaction k1 and k2 are the rate constant at temperature T1 and T2.

ln k1=ln AEaRT1.....eqn(1)

ln k2=ln AEaRT2.....eqn(2)

Subtracting equation (1) from (2) we get,
ln k2ln k1=EaRT2+EaRT1

ln k2k1=EaRT1EaRT2

ln k2k1=EaR(1T11T2)

ln k2k1=EaR(T2T1T1T2)
