At a given value of E/R (ratio of activation energy and gas constant), the ratio of the rate constants at 500°K and 400°K is 2, if Arrhenius law is used. What will be this ratio, if transition state theory is used with the same value of „E/R‟ ?
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Both Arrhenius and Transition State Theory predict the same ratio for the rate constants under these conditions.
