The first order rate constant $k$ is related to temperature $T$ as $\log \, k = 15.0 - (10^{6} / T)$. Which of the following pairs of values for the Arrhenius factor $A$ and activation energy $E_a$ is correct?

  • A
    $A = 10^{15}$ and $E_a = 1.9 \times 10^{4} \, kJ$
  • B
    $A = 10^{-15}$ and $E_a = 40 \, kJ$
  • C
    $A = 10^{15}$ and $E_a = 40 \, kJ$
