Question

Consider the given plots for a reaction obeying Arrhenius equation (): ( and  are rate constant and activation energy, respectively)

Canvas Classes · Accepted Answer

Arrhenius equation: , so

Plot I —  vs : As  increases,  increases (non-linearly, since the relationship is ). The curve is concave and increasing. Correct.

Plot II —  vs : This gives a straight line with slope  (negative slope). Correct.

Answer: Option (4) — Both I and II are correct
