    Which equation is true to calculate the energy of activation, if the rate of reaction is doubled by increasing temperature from\[{{T}_{1}}K\]to\[{{T}_{2}}K\]?

    A) \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{k}_{1}}}{{{k}_{2}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]

    B) \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}} \right]\]

    C) \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}} \right]\]

    D) \[{{\log }_{10}}2=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    According to question, the rate of reaction is doubled on increasing temperature from\[{{T}_{1}}K\]to\[{{T}_{2}}K\]. At           \[{{T}_{1}},\,\,{{k}_{1}}=k\](say) and        \[{{T}_{2}},\,\,{{k}_{2}}=2k\] On applying,                 \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]                 \[{{\log }_{10}}\frac{2k}{k}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]                 \[{{\log }_{10}}2=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{2.303R}\left[ \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right]\]
