    Activation energy (Ea) and rate constants (k1 and k2) of a chemical reaction at two different temperatures T1 and T2) are related by  [AIPMT (M) 2012]

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

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

    C) \[\ln \frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=-\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{R}\left( \frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}}+\frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)\]

    D) \[\ln \frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{R}\left( \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    [c] According to Arrhenius equation, activation energy \[\text{(}{{\text{E}}_{\text{a}}}\text{)}\] and rate constants (\[{{\text{k}}_{\text{1}}}\] and \[{{\text{k}}_{2}}\]) of a chemical reaction at two different temperatures (\[{{\text{T}}_{\text{1}}}\] and \[{{\text{T}}_{2}}\]) are related as
    \[\ln \frac{{{k}_{2}}}{{{k}_{1}}}=\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{R}\left( \frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}} \right)\]
                \[=-\frac{{{E}_{a}}}{R}\left( \frac{1}{{{T}_{2}}}-\frac{1}{{{T}_{1}}} \right)\]
