Consider the following transformation involving first order elementary reactions in each step at constant temperature as shown below.
$A + B \underset{\text{Step } 3}{\overset{\text{Step } 1}{\rightleftharpoons}} C \xrightarrow{\text{Step } 2} P$
Some details of the above reaction are listed below.
Step Rate constant $(s^{-1})$ Activation energy $(kJ \ mol^{-1})$
$1$ $k_1$ $300$
$2$ $k_2$ $200$
$3$ $k_3$ $Ea_3$

If the overall rate constant of the above transformation $(k)$ is given as $k = \frac{k_1 k_2}{k_3}$ and the overall activation energy $(E_a)$ is $400 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,then the value of $Ea_3$ is $\qquad$ $kJ \ mol^{-1}$ (nearest integer).

Slope of the straight line obtained by plotting $\log_{10} k$ against $\frac{1}{T}$ represents which term?

The activation energy of a reaction at a given temperature is found to be $2.303 \ RT \ J \ mol^{-1}$. The ratio of rate constant to the Arrhenius factor is

For a reaction,activation energy $E_a = 0$ and rate constant $K = 3.2 \times 10^6 \ s^{-1}$ at $300 \ K$. What is the value of the rate constant at $300 \ K$?

The rate of a reaction quadruples when the temperature changes from $300 \, K$ to $310 \, K$. The activation energy of this reaction is ........... $kJ \, mol^{-1}$ (Assume activation energy and pre-exponential factor are independent of temperature; $\ln 2 = 0.693$; $R = 8.314 \, J \, mol^{-1} \, K^{-1}$)
