a

The activation energy of the reaction is unaffected by the value of the steric factor

b

Experimentally determined value of frequency factor is higher than that predicted by Arrhenius equation

c

Since P=4.5, the reaction wil not proceed unless an effective catalysed is used

d

The value of frequency factor predicted by Arrhenius equation is higher than that determined experimentally

answer is A, B.

According to Arrhenius equations
k=AeEa/RT
Where, A=Frequency factor
Taking into account orientation factor,
P=AZ or A=PZ;k=PZeEa/RT
Where, P=steric factor, Z=collision frequency
The value of steric factor lies between 0 and 1 predicted by Arrhenius equation. Thus, the experimentally determined value of frequency factor is higher than that predicted by Arrhenius equation.Thus, (b) is correct
