Question

For the first-order reaction X ⟶ products, which of the following graphs is best for determining the activation energy, E_a?

Note:

1. The best choice is the one that yields a straight line graph with the slope directly proportional to E_a.
2. In the options below, T is the kelvin temperature and t is time.

	(a)	k versus 1/T
	(b)	1 / [X] versus t
	(c)	ln k versus T
	(d)	ln [X] versus t
	(e)	[X] versus t
	(f)	Rate versus t
	(g)	[X]2 versus t
	(h)	ln k versus t
	(i)	ln k versus 1/T
