Question

Calculate activation energy for a reaction if it's rate doubles when temperature is raised from $20^\circ\text{C}$ to $35^\circ\text{C} \left( \text{R} = 8.314 \text{ J K}^{-1} \text{ mol}^{-1} \right)$}

• A. $17.336 \text{ kJ}$
• B. $26.900 \text{ kJ}$
• C. $34.673 \text{ kJ}$
• D. $44.236 \text{ kJ}$

Hint:

Shortcut: Rate doubles $\Rightarrow \ln 2 = 0.693$

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
