The oxidation of a primary alcohol \(\mathrm{RCH_{2}OH}\) to the corresponding aldehyde \(\mathrm{RCHO}\) by \(\mathrm{Na_{2}Cr_{2}O_{7}}\) in acidic medium follows first‑order kinetics. At 298 K the rate constant is \(k_{1}=2.5\times10^{-4}\ \text{s}^{-1}\). When the temperature is raised to 308 K the observed half‑life is 5.0 min. Determine the activation energy \(E_{a}\) in kJ·mol\(^{-1}\). (R = 8.314 J·mol\(^{-1}\)·K\(^{-1}\))

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. 170 kJ·mol⁻¹ (approximately)
B. 120 kJ·mol⁻¹ (approximately)
C. 210 kJ·mol⁻¹ (approximately)
D. 95 kJ·mol⁻¹ (approximately)
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
170 kJ·mol⁻¹ (approximately)
