Answer:
anawer is none of the above
Arrhenius' Law relates activation energy, Ea, rate constant, K, and temperature, T as per this equation:
K (T) = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT), where R is the universal constant of gases and A is a constant which accounts for collision frequency..
Then you can find the ration between K's at two different temperatures as:
K1 = A * e ^ (-Ea / RT1)
K2 = A* e ^(-Ea / RT2)
=> K1 / K2 = e ^ { (-Ea / RT1) - Ea / RT2) }
=> K1 / K2 = e ^ {(-Ea/ R ) *( 1 / T1 - 1 T2) }
=> K1 / K2 = e^ { (-205,000 j/mol / 8.314 j/mol*k )* ( 1 / 505K - 1/ 485K) }
=> K1 / K2 = e ^ (2.0134494) ≈ 7.5
Answer: 7.5

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Which of the following Group 17 elements is the least reactive
a) Flourine
b) Chlorine
c) Astatine
d) Iodine
Answer: c) Astatine
Explanation:
Halogen is the name given to Group 17 family with general electronic configuration of which have 7 valence electrons and thus easily gain one electron to attain stable configuration.
As we move down the group from flourine to chlorine to bromine to iodine to astatine , the valence shell moves farther from nucleus and thus tendency to accept the electron decreases and thus reactivity also decreases.
Thus Astatine is the least reactive of all.
