    				| 1. | In the start of summer, a given sample of milk turns sour at room temperature `(27^(@)C)` in `48` hours. In a refrigerator at `2^(@)C`, milk can be stored there times longer before it sours. The activation energy of the souring of milk is `(kJ mol^(-1))`A. `30.210`B. `30.146`C. `30.0`D. `35.126` | 
| Answer» Correct Answer - B At `2^(@)C (275 K)`, the reaction is theee times slower than at `27^(@)C(300 K)`. This implies that for souring of milk. `(k_(300))/(k_(275)) = 3, T_(1) = 275 K, T_(2) = 300 K` Applying Arrhenius equation `log.(k_(300))/(k_(275)) = (E_(a))/(2.303 R) ((T_(2)-T_(1))/(T_(2)T_(1)))` `log 3 = (E_(a))/(2.303 xx 8.314) ((300-275)/(275 xx 300))` or `E_(a) = 30.146 kJ mol^(-1)` | |
