    The energy it should possess so that it can enter into an effective collision
  • B
    The energy which the molecule should possess in order to undergo reaction
  • C

Activation energy for the acid catalysed hydration of sucrose is $6.22 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$,while the activation energy is only $2.15 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ when hydrolysis is catalysed by the enzyme sucrase. Explain.

For the reaction $A_2 + B_2 \rightleftharpoons 2AB$,the activation energies for the forward and backward reactions are $180 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ and $200 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$ respectively. In the presence of a catalyst,the activation energy for both (forward and backward) reactions decreases by $100 \, kJ \, mol^{-1}$. What will be the enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ for the reaction $(A_2 + B_2 \rightarrow 2AB)$ in the presence of a catalyst in $kJ \, mol^{-1}$?

The plot of $\log k_f$ versus $1 / T$ for a reversible reaction $A_{(g)} \rightleftharpoons P_{(g)}$ is shown. Pre-exponential factors for the forward and backward reactions are $10^{15} \ s^{-1}$ and $10^{11} \ s^{-1}$,respectively. If the value of $\log K$ for the reaction at $500 \ K$ is $6$,the value of $|\log k_b|$ at $250 \ K$ is $\qquad$ $[K = \text{equilibrium constant of the reaction}, k_f = \text{rate constant of forward reaction}, k_b = \text{rate constant of backward reaction}]$
