Chapter 11, Problem 63QRT

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fastest reaction in the question $61$ has to be identified.

Concept Introduction:

The Arrhenius equation is given below.

  $k=A{e}^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}$

Where $k$ is the rate constant, $A$ is the frequency factor, $E_a$ is the activation energy, $R$ is the universal gas constant and $T$ is the temperature.

The reaction with largest activation energy will have slowest rate and smallest activation energy will have fastest rate if and only if other parameters are constant.

(b)
