Question

You study the effect of temperature on the rate of two reactions and graph the natural logarithm of the rate constant for each reaction as a function of 1/T.

How do the two graphs compare if the activation energy of the second reaction is higher than the activation energy of the first reaction but the two reactions have the same frequency factor?

a The lines will have the same y-intercept, negative slope direction, and the slope of line 2 will be steeper than the slope of line 1.

b The lines will have the same negative slope, and the y-intercept of line 2 will be higher than the y-intercept of line 1.

c The lines will have the same negative slope, and the y-intercept of line 1 will be higher than the y-intercept of line 2.

d The lines will have the same y-intercept, negative slope direction, and the slope of line 1 will be steeper than the slope of line 2.

Explanation / Answer

All of these are wrong. The correct answer is A.
