    A chemical reaction was carried out at 300 K and 280 K. The rate constants were found to be \[{{K}_{1}}\]and \[{{K}_{2}}\]respectively. Then:

    A)  \[{{K}_{2}}=0.25\,{{K}_{1}}\]     

    B) \[{{K}_{2}}\approx 0.5\,{{K}_{1}}\]

    C)  \[{{K}_{2}}\approx 4{{K}_{1}}\]                

    D) \[{{K}_{2}}\approx 2{{K}_{1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    By the increase in temperature the activation energy decreases. So the rate of reaction increases. Here temperature difference is 20 K. At 10 K the rate constant is doubled. Therefore, here it is four times. Hence \[{{K}_{2}}=0.25\,K.\]
