The rate constant for a reaction increases 4 times when temperature increases from 27°C to 47°C. What is the activation energy? (R = 8.314 J mol⁻¹ K⁻¹)
A 25.6 kJ/mol
B 51.2 kJ/mol
C 102.4 kJ/mol
D 12.8 kJ/mol
Correct Answer:  B. 51.2 kJ/mol
EXPLANATION

Using ln(k₂/k₁) = (Eₐ/R)(1/T₁ - 1/T₂): ln(4) = (Eₐ/8.314)(1/300 - 1/320), solving gives Eₐ ≈ 51.2 kJ/mol.

Test
For a reaction with mechanism: A ⇌ B (fast equilibrium), B + C → D (slow), the rate law is:
A rate = k[B][C]
B rate = k[A][C]
C rate = k[A]^(1/2)[C]
D rate = k[A][B][C]
Correct Answer:  C. rate = k[A]^(1/2)[C]
EXPLANATION

From fast equilibrium: K = [B]/[A], so [B] = K[A]. The slow step rate law is rate = k'[B][C] = k'K[A][C] = k[A]^(1/2)[C] where k combines constants.
