At a given value of E/R (ratio of activation energy and gas constant), the ratio of the rate constants at 500°K and 400°K is 2, if Arrhenious law is used. What will be this ratio, if transition state theory is used with the same value of E/R?

✅ The correct answer is option D.

If the catalyst pore size is small in comparison with the mean free path, collisions with the pore wall controls the process’. The diffusivity under this condition is called ‘Knudsen diffusivity’, which is affected by the

Pressure
Temperature
Both A & B
Neither A nor B
✅ The correct answer is option B.
