Question diagram
A

H2/Pd\text{H}_2/\text{Pd}, [Ag(NH3)2]+[\text{Ag}(\text{NH}_3)_2]^+, Br2/NaOH\text{Br}_2/\text{NaOH}

B

[Ag(NH3)2]+[\text{Ag}(\text{NH}_3)_2]^+, H2/Pd\text{H}_2/\text{Pd}, Br2/NaOH\text{Br}_2/\text{NaOH}

C

Br2/NaOH\text{Br}_2/\text{NaOH}, [Ag(NH3)2]+[\text{Ag}(\text{NH}_3)_2]^+, H2/Pd\text{H}_2/\text{Pd}

D

H2/Pd\text{H}_2/\text{Pd}, Br2/NaOH\text{Br}_2/\text{NaOH}, [Ag(NH3)2]+[\text{Ag}(\text{NH}_3)_2]^+

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

The equation derived from the ratio of reaction rates shows that the difference in activation energies, EbEa=RTln2E_b - E_a = RT \ln 2, can be rearranged to express EaEbE_a - E_b as RTln2-RT \ln 2. This indicates that the activation energy EaE_a is lower than EbE_b by RTln2RT \ln 2, confirming option B as correct. Other options are not applicable in this context, as they do not provide relevant information or calculations related to the activation energies or their relationship. Understanding the relationship between activation energy and reaction rates is crucial for grasping the principles of chemical kinetics.
