The rate constant is given by the equation $k = p Z e^{-E_a/RT}$. Which factor should register a decrease for the reaction to proceed more rapidly?

Consider the given energy profile diagram for a reaction and choose the correct option:

Which one of the following is true for an exothermic reaction $A \rightleftharpoons B$,if $E_f$ and $E_b$ are the activation energies of forward and backward reactions respectively?

The temperature dependence of the rate constant $(k)$ of a chemical reaction is expressed by the Arrhenius equation,$k = A \cdot e^{-E^*/RT}$. The activation energy $(E^*)$ of the reaction can be calculated by plotting:

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

For the forward reaction $X \rightarrow Y$,the activation energy is $60 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta H = -20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. What is the activation energy for the reverse reaction $Y \rightarrow X$ in $kJ \ mol^{-1}$?
