Question diagram
A

The slope of the line is equal to -Ea/R.

B

The y-intercept of the line represents -Ea/R.

C

The slope of the line is proportional to the rate of reaction.

D

The plot is indicative of a zero-order reaction.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

According to the Arrhenius equation, the slope of the ln k vs 1/T plot is equal to -Ea/R, where Ea is the activation energy and R is the gas constant.
