According to collision theory for determining the variation of rate of reaction with temperature, the rate constant, k = \left(Ae\right)^{- E_{a} / RT}. For most of the practical purposes 'A' & Ea [Arhenius factor & Activation energy are temperature in dependent. However they may vary slightly. Assuming the conditions given in the questions below answer the questions that follow.

Linked Question 2

For constant 'A' & 'E_a' which parameters when plotted will give a straight line with given slope

ln k vs T , slope = – $\frac{E_{a}}{R}$

ln k vs $\frac{1}{T}$ , slope = – $\frac{E_{a}}{R}$

ln k vs T , slope = $\frac{E_{a}}{R}$

ln k vs $\frac{1}{T}$ , slope = $\frac{E_{a}}{R}$
