    A first order reaction is 50% completed in 30 min at\[27{}^\circ C\]and in 10 min at\[47{}^\circ C\]. The energy of activation of the reaction is

    A) \[43.84\text{ }kJmo{{l}^{-1}}\]                  

    B) \[34.84\text{ }kJmo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    C)  \[84.00\text{ }kJ\text{ }mo{{l}^{-1}}\]  

    D) \[30.00\text{ }kJmo{{l}^{-1}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     According to Arrhenius, \[\log \frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]                 \[{{k}_{27}}=\frac{2.303}{30}\log \frac{100}{50}\]                 \[=\frac{2.303}{30}\log 2=2.3\times {{10}^{-2}}{{\min }^{-1}}\]                 \[{{k}_{{{47}^{o}}}}=\frac{2.303}{10}\log \frac{100}{50}\]                                 \[=0.0693\,{{\min }^{-1}}\]
