Question

Plots showing the variation of the rate constant (k) with temperature (T) are given below. The plot that follows the Arrhenius equation is:

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Hint:

According to the Arrhenius equation, \( k = A e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \), where \( k \) increases exponentially with temperature, showing a positive curvature as the temperature rises.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

According to the Arrhenius equation, k increases exponentially with temperature. The plot corresponding to this behavior is shown by option (A), which represents an exponential rise in k as temperature increases.
