The temperature dependence of rate constant ($k$) of a chemical reaction is written in terms of Arrhenius equation, $k = Ae^{- E*RT}$. Activation energy ($E^{*}$) of the reaction can be calculated by plotting

Question

(a)
Arrhenius equation $k = Ae^{- \frac{E}{RT}}$
In $k = \ln{A - \frac{E}{RT}}$
or $\log{k = \log{A - \frac{E}{2.303\ RT}}}$
Hence, $E$ is calculated with the help of slope of following.
