JEE Main 2026 Chemistry question
(first reaction) (second reaction) Consider the above two first-order reactions. The rate constant for first reaction at 500 K is double of the same at 300 K. At 500 K, 50% of the reaction becomes complete in 2 hour. The activation energy of the second reaction is half of that of first reaction. If the rate constant at 500 K of the second reaction becomes double of the rate constant of first reaction at the same temperature; then rate constant for the second reaction at 300 K is hour⁻¹ (nearest integer).
Answer: 5
Solution
Using Arrhenius equation with the given ratios: , .
