JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2019 - 12th January Evening Slot - No. 10)

For a reaction consider the plot of $$\ell $$n k versus 1/T given in the figure. If the rate constant of this reaction at 400 K is 10–5 s–1, then the rate constant at 500 K is –

10$$-$$4 s$$-$$1
4 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$4 s$$-$$1
10$$-$$6 s$$-$$1
2 $$ \times $$ 10$$-$$4 s$$-$$1

Explanation

From Arhenius equation,

K = Ae$$^{ - {{Ea} \over {RT}}}$$

taking log both sides,

lnk = lnA $$-$$ $${{{Ea} \over {RT}}}$$

So in lnK vs $${1 \over T}$$ graph

slope = $$-$$ $${{{Ea} \over R}}$$

Rate constant at 400 K is = 10$$-$$5 s$$-$$1

Let rate constant at 500 K is = K

$$ \therefore $$   ln(10$$-$$5) = ln A $$-$$ $${{Ea} \over {R\left( {400} \right)}}$$ . . . (1)

ln K = ln A $$-$$ $${{Ea} \over {R\left( {500} \right)}}$$ . . . .(2)

Subtracting (2) from (1) we get,

ln $${K \over {{{10}^{ - 5}}}}$$ = $${{{Ea} \over R}}$$ $$\left[ {{1 \over {400}} - {1 \over {500}}} \right]$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   2.303 log $${K \over {{{10}^{ - 5}}}}$$ = 4606 $$\left[ {{1 \over {400}} - {1 \over {500}}} \right]$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$   K = 10$$-$$4 s$$-$$1
