Practicing Success
Match the entries of column I with appropriate entries of column II and choose the correct option out of the four options given.

(a)-(i), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(ii) (a)-(ii), (b)-(iv), (c)-(iii), (d)-(i) (a)-(iii), (b)-(ii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i) (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i) |
(a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i) |
The correct answer is option 4. (a)-(ii), (b)-(iii), (c)-(iv), (d)-(i).
Let us explain each of the matches between Column I and Column II in detail: (a) Arrhenius Equation This is a fundamental equation in chemical kinetics that describes how the rate constant (\( k \)) of a reaction depends on temperature (\( T \)) and activation energy (\( Ea \)). \( k = Ae^{-Ea/RT} \) \( k \)= Rate constant \( A \) = Pre-exponential factor (frequency factor) \( Ea \) = Activation energy \( R \) = Gas constant \( T \) = Temperature in Kelvin So, Arrhenius equation corresponds to \( k = Ae^{-Ea/RT} \). Hence, (a) - (ii). (b) Number of Molecules Undergoing Effective Collisions Per Unit Time This term refers to the concept in the Arrhenius equation related to the frequency factor \( A \). The frequency factor \( A \) represents the number of collisions per unit time that are sufficiently energetic and correctly oriented to lead to a reaction. The term \( kA = e^{-Ea/RT} \) seems to describe the frequency factor in relation to the Arrhenius equation, so (b) matches with (iii). (c) Activation Energy This is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur. It represents the energy barrier that reactants must overcome to form products. The activation energy itself is denoted by \( Ea \). Therefore, (c) - (iv) is correct. (d) Threshold Energy This term is essentially synonymous with activation energy. It represents the minimum amount of energy required for a reaction to proceed. The term \(H_p + (E_a)_b\) might be less standard, but in this context, it appears to refer to the threshold or activation energy. This might be a specific format used in some texts, but the idea is consistent with activation energy. (d) corresponds to (i), which represents the activation energy in a specific format. |
