    Activation energy of a chemical reaction can be determined by:                               [AIPMT 1998]

    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 :

    [c] 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.
