JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2022 - 29th June Evening Shift - No. 18)

The equation

k = (6.5 $$\times$$ 1012s$$-$$1)e$$-$$26000K/T

is followed for the decomposition of compound A. The activation energy for the reaction is ________ kJ mol$$-$$1. [nearest integer]

(Given : R = 8.314 J K$$-$$1 mol$$-$$1)

Answer
216

Explanation

$k=A e^{\frac{-E_{a}}{R T}}$

$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{E_{a}}{R T} &=\frac{26000}{T} \\\\ E_{a} &=26000 \times 8.314 \\\\ &=216164 \mathrm{~J} \\\\ &=216 \mathrm{~kJ} \end{aligned} $$
