Options

  1. A

    ln⁡k2k1=−EaR(1T1−1T2)\ln \frac{k_2}{k_1}=-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right)lnk1​k2​​=−REa​​(T1​1​−T2​1​)

  2. B

    ln⁡k2k1=−EaR(1T2−1T1)\ln \frac{k_2}{k_1}=-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}\right)lnk1​k2​​=−REa​​(T2​1​−T1​1​)

  3. C

    ln⁡k2k1=−EaR(1T2+1T1)\ln \frac{k_2}{k_1}=-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T_2}+\frac{1}{T_1}\right)lnk1​k2​​=−REa​​(T2​1​+T1​1​)
