The reaction rate constants at two different temperatures T1 and T2 are related by _________________?

Correct answer: B. ln (k2/k1) = (E/R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)

  • A. ln (k2/k1) = (E/R) (1/T2 - 1/T1)
  • B. ln (k2/k1) = (E/R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)
  • C. exp (k2/k1) = (E/R) (1/T2 - 1/T1)
  • D. exp (k2/k1) = (E/R) (1/T1 - 1/T2)

Explanation

Integrating the Arrhenius equation between two temperatures gives ln(k2/k1) = (E/R)(1/T1 − 1/T2). Since a higher temperature has a larger rate constant, this expression also gives the expected positive value for k2 > k1 when T2 > T1.
