Activation energy is defined as the east possible every required for a reaction to take place. It is denoted by Ea and expressed as kJ/mol. It is dependent on temperature and catalyst.

Eg: Enzymes which are catalysts in our bodies lower activation Energy energy of many prourses so that the reaction can take place at a faster rate.

Given: Rate constant = 3 × 1014 sec–1 

Activation anergy = 104.4 k smol–1

Arrhenius Parameter = 6.0 × 1014 sec–1

Arrhenius Equation: k= Ae–Ea/RT

when T→ ∞ the equation becomes

k = Ae–εa/R × ∞)

⇒  K = Ae–εa×0

⇒ K = Ae⇒ K = A

⇒ k = 6.0 × 1014 sec–1

Answer →(B).
