Detailed Solution

According Arrhenius,

Rate constant, k = AeEa/RT

k1=AeEa1/RT

k2=AeEa2/RT

k1k2=AeEa1/RTAeEa2/RT

21=eEa1/RTeEa2/RT

eEa1/RT=2eEa2/RT

Apply ln on both sides then we will get

lneEa1RT=ln2eEa2RT

lneEa1RT=ln2+lne(Ea2RT)         (logab=loga+logb)

lneEa1RTlneEa2RT=ln2          

lneeEa1RTeEa2RT=ln2               (logalogb=logab)         

lneeEa1RT+Ea2RT=lne2            (logaman=logam+n)

Remove ln on both sides

Ea1RT+Ea2RT=2                  

Ea1+Ea2=2+ve×R+veT+ve

Ea2Ea1=+ve

Ea2>Ea1

Hence  E1<E2
