Which of the following pairing is incorrect? (Where A is the frequency factor)(a) Arrhenius equation; k = A\(e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}} \)(b) Transition state theory; k = AT\(e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}} \)(c) Collision theory; k = AT^0.5\(e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}} \)(d) Arrhenius equation; k = AT^2\(e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}} \)The question was posed to me during an interview for a job.My doubt is from Kinetics of Homogeneous Reactions topic in section Kinetics of Homogeneous Reactions of Chemical Reaction Engineering

Answer» CORRECT choice is (d) Arrhenius EQUATION; k = AT^2\(e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}} \)

To explain I WOULD say: Arrhenius equation: k = A\(e^{\frac{-Ea}{RT}} \).

By collision theory, k α T^0.5

By transition STATE theory, k α T
