The rate of a reaction A doubles on increasing the temperature from 300 to 310 K. By how much, the temperature of reaction B should be increased from 300 K so that rate doubles if activation energy of the reaction B is twice to that of reaction A.
  1. 4.92 K
  2. 9.84 K
  3. 19.67 K
  4. 2.45 K

Solution

log 2=EaR1300-1310 .......(i)

log  2=2EaR 1300-1T ......(ii)

2EaR 1300-1T=EaR 1300-1310

1300+1310=2T

     T=300×310610×2

=304.92

Hence, the temperature of reaction B should be increased from 300 K by 304.92300=4.92 K.
