Question
The activation energies of two reactions are E1 and E2 with E1 > E2. If the temperature of the reacting system is increased from T1 (rate constants are K1 and K2) to T2 (rate constants are K′1 and K′2), then predict which of the following alternative is correct?
Options
A.$\frac{K_{1}'}{K_{1}} = \frac{K_{2}'}{K_{2}}$
B.$\frac{K_{1}'}{K_{1}} > \frac{K_{2}'}{K_{2}}$ (c $\frac{K_{1}'}{K_{1}} < \frac{K_{2}'}{K_{2}}$
C.$K_{1}' < K_{2}'$
Solution
Reaction with higher Ea are more sensitive towards temperature changes.
