For a reaction consider the plot of n k versus 1/T given in the figure. If the rate constant of this reaction at 400 K is 10–5 s–1, then the rate constant at 500 K is – 

- A10 4 s 1
- B4 10 4 s 1
- C10 6 s 1
- D2 10 4 s 1

Correct answer: A
- Use Arrhenius equation in logarithmic form
For a reaction,
So, a plot of versus is a straight line with slope
- Read the slope from the graph
From the given straight line graph, the slope is
Hence,
So,
- Relate the two rate constants
Using
Given:
- at
Therefore,
- Calculate the temperature term
So,
Thus,
Hence,
- Match with the nearest option
This value is approximately
which does not match any option exactly.
Given the available choices, none is correct. If the slope were about instead of , then option A would result. So the stored answer appears inconsistent with the graph-based calculation.
Derived answer: None of the given options matches; calculated value is .
