For a chemical reaction $A \rightarrow B$,the activation energy in the forward direction is $E_a$. Then the activation energy in the reverse direction is.........

  • A
    will be double of $E_a$
  • B
    will be equal to $-E_a$
  • C
    will always be less than $E_a$
  • D
    can be less than or more than $E_a$

For the following reactions:
$A \xrightarrow{700 \ K}$ Product
$A \xrightarrow[\text{catalyst}]{500 \ K}$ Product
it was found that $E_{a}$ is decreased by $30 \ kJ/mol$ in the presence of a catalyst. If the rate remains unchanged,the activation energy for the catalysed reaction is (Assume pre-exponential factor is same):

Which of the following options is incorrect?

Why does the rate of a reaction increase with a rise in temperature?

The reaction: $Cr_{2}O_{3} + 2 Al \rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3} + 2 Cr$ $\quad (\Delta_{r}G^{\Theta} = -421 \ kJ)$ is thermodynamically feasible as is apparent from the Gibbs energy value. Why does it not take place at room temperature?

Two reactions of the same order have equal Pre-exponential factors but their activation energies differ by $24.9 \ kJ/mol$. Calculate the ratio between the rate constants $\left( \frac{K_2}{K_1} \right)$ of these reactions at $27 \ ^\circ C$.
