Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Correct answer: C. When a specific rate constant has a smaller value, then activation energy is smaller
- A. Order of reaction helps us to determine mechanism of reaction
- B. Arrhenius equation is used to determine activation energy
- C. When a specific rate constant has a smaller value, then activation energy is smaller
- D. A type of catalysis in which reactant and catalyst are in the same phase is known as homogeneous catalysis
Explanation
This statement is incorrect. Activation energy is not directly related to the specific rate constant. Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to occur. It is determined by the Arrhenius equation, which relates the specific rate constant (k) to temperature and activation energy. A smaller specific rate constant does not necessarily indicate a smaller activation energy. In fact, activation energy is independent of the rate constant; it solely depends on the nature of the reaction and the transition state.

In this question, a statement is given followed by two courses of action numbered I and II. It is required to grasp the statement, analyze the problem or policy it mentions and then decide which of the courses of action logically follow / most appropriate.Statement:The killer enteric fever has so far claimed 100 lives in some tribal villages during the past three weeks.Courses of action:I) The residents of these villages should immediately be shifted to a non-infected area.II) The Government should immediately send a medical squad to this area, restrict spread of the killer disease.
In the following question, two statements numbered I and II are given. There may be cause and effect relationship between the two statements. These two statements may be the effect of the same cause or independent causes. These statements may be independent causes without saving any relationship. Read both the statements in question and mark your answer as:A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;B. If statement II is the cause and statement, I is its effect;C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common causes;I. It is the aim of the city's civic authority to get the air pollution reduced by 20% in the next two months.II. The number of asthma cases in the city is constantly increasing.
