As we have learnt,

 

Arrhenius Equation -

Arrhenius gave the quantitative dependence of rate constant on temperature by the Arrhenius equation.

- wherein

k = A e^{-E_{a}/RT}

In k=InA-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}

k = Rate constant

 

 From the graph,

\\*\ln\left(\frac{K_2}{K_1} \right ) = \frac{\Delta H}{R}\left[\frac{1}{T_1} - \frac{1}{T_2} \right ] \\* \ln \left(\frac{6}{2} \right ) = \frac{\Delta H}{R}(-0.5\times 10^{-3})

\Rightarrow \Delta H of reaction comes out to be negetive. Hence the reaction is exothermic reaction.
