                    Activation energy of a chemical reaction can be determined by:               

    A)                 evaluating rate constant at standard temperature

    B)                 evaluating velocities of reaction at two different temperatures

    C)                 evaluating rate constants at two different temperatures

    D)                 changing concentration of reactants

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                    Activation energy can be calculated by using Arrhenius equation. The Arrhenius equation is-                 \[\log \frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303\,R}\left[ \frac{{{T}_{2}}-{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{1}}{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]                 where \[{{k}_{1}}\] and  \[{{k}_{2}}\] = rate  constant at two different temperatures                 \[{{E}_{a}}\] \[=\] Activation energy                 R = Gas constant                 So, activation energy of a chemical reaction can be determined by evaluating rate constants at two different temperatures.
