The energy of activation for an uncatalysed reaction is 100 kJ mol-1. Presence of a catalyst lowers the energy of activation by 75%. The log 1 0 K 2 K 1 of the ratio of rate constant of catalysed and uncatalysed reactions at 27°C is?

Assume the frequency factor is same for both reactions. (Given 2.303 × 8.314 = 19.147)

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

In absence of catalyst, K 1 = Ae - 1 0 0 / RT

In presence of catalyst ; K 2 = Ae - 2 5 / RT

∴    K 2 K 1 = e 7 5 / RT ⇒ log e K 2 K 1 = 7 5 RT

⇒    log 1 0 K 2 K 1 = 7 5 2.303 × R × T

⇒    log 1 0 K 2 K 1 = 7 5 2.303 × 8.314 × 1 0 - 3 × 3 0 0 = 13.057
