Consider the following plots of rate constant versus for four different reactions. Which of the following order is correct for the activation energies of these reactions?
  1. (A)✓ Correct
  2. (B)
  3. (C)
  4. (D)

Answer: (A)

Solution

Taking logarithms of the Arrhenius equation gives , so a plot of against is a line of slope ; a steeper downward slope means a larger activation energy. Reading the four lines by steepness gives the activation energies in the order .
