| 1. | large value of k indicates fast reactions. | 
| 2. | The value of k is independent of the concentration of reactants | 
| 3. | The value of k is independent of the concentration of products | 
| 4. | The value of the rate constant, k, as the name suggests is always constant for a particular reaction at all temperatures. | 
| Assertion (A): | For an endothermic reaction, the potential energy of the reactant is more than the potential energy of the product. | 
| Reason (R): | Reactant molecules, before converting to products, form an activated complex that has lower energy than reactants as well as the products. | 
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). | 
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). | 
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. | 
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. | 
The rate of a reaction is decreased by 3.555 times when the temperature was changed from 40°C to 30°C. The activation energy (in kJ ) of the reaction is:
(Take R=8.314 J  In 3.555=1.268)
1. 100 kJ/mol
2. 120 kJ/mol
3. 95 kJ/mol
4. 108 kJ/mol
