Question

Which of the following is in accordance with the Arrhenius equation?

Solution

Dear Student,

Arrhenius equation is k = A.e-EaRT
The increase in temperature increases the exponential value which ultimately increases rate of reaction and similarly the increase in activation energy decreases the value of exponential results in decreased rate of reaction. Hence the answer is Option (A) and (C)

Regards.
