Correct answer: B
-
Use the Arrhenius equation
The Arrhenius equation is
Taking natural logarithm,
This is of the form: where slope
-
Interpret the graph
For a plot of versus , the slope is negative and equals
From the given figure, the slope is .
Therefore,
-
Calculate activation energy
-
Match with options
The correct option is:
So, Option B is correct.
