Consider the following reversible reaction,
$A_{(g)} + B_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons AB_{(g)}.$
The activation energy of the backward reaction exceeds that of the forward reaction by $2RT$ (in $J \ mol^{-1}$). If the pre-exponential factor of the forward reaction is $4$ times that of the reverse reaction,the absolute value of $\Delta G^{\ominus}$ (in $J \ mol^{-1}$) for the reaction at $300 \ K$ is. . . . . (Given; $\ln(2)=0.7, RT=2500 \ J \ mol^{-1}$ at $300 \ K$ and $G$ is the Gibbs energy)

The activation energy of a reaction is $0$. The rate constant of the reaction:

Which one of the following does not represent the Arrhenius equation?

Assertion : According to transition state theory for the formation of an activated complex,one of the vibrational degrees of freedom is converted into a translational degree of freedom.
Reason : Energy of the activated complex is higher than the energy of reactant molecules.

According to the Arrhenius equation,which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ $A$ high activation energy usually implies a fast reaction.
$(B)$ Rate constant increases with increase in temperature. This is due to a greater number of collisions whose energy exceeds the activation energy.
$(C)$ Higher the magnitude of activation energy,stronger is the temperature dependence of the rate constant.
$(D)$ The pre-exponential factor is a measure of the rate at which collisions occur,irrespective of their energy.
