Detailed Solution

K = Ae^-Ea/RT
A) as E_a inc, K dec
B) temp coeff = $= \frac{K_{t + 10}}{K_{t}}$
In $\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} = \frac{E_{a}}{R} (\frac{10}{T_{1} \cdot T_{2}})$
For same T₁, T₂ as E_a inc, temp coeff inc.
C) At lower temperatures, inc in temp causes less change in value of K than at higher temperature
$D) \ln K = \ln A - \frac{E_{a}}{RT}$
$∴$ In K vs 1/T is a straight line with slope = -E_a/R
$∴$ true statements are : ABD = 3
