#### Question

(b) Rate constant ‘k’ of a reaction varies with temperature ‘T’ according to the equation:

logk=logA-E_a/2.303R(1/T)

Where Ea is the activation energy. When a graph is plotted for logk Vs. 1/T a straight line with a slope of −4250 K is obtained. Calculate ‘Ea’ for the reaction.(R = 8.314 JK−1 mol−1)
