Ea and ∆H values of reactions R1, R2, R3 and R4 carried out at the same temperature are as given below :
R1 Ea = 40 kJ mol–1, ∆H = – 80 kJ mol–1
R2 Ea = 20 kJ mol–1, ∆H = – 30 kJ mol–1
R3 Ea = 60 kJ mol–1, ∆H = + 40 kJ mol–1
R4 Ea = 30 kJ mol–1, ∆H = + 20 kJ mol–1
At a given temperature and assuming that the backward reactions of all these reactions have the same frequency factor, the rates of R1, R2, R3 and R4 in their respective backward reactions are in the increasing order of
  1. R2 < R3 < R4 < R1
  2. R4 < R3 < R2 < R1
  3. R1 < R4 < R3 < R2
  4. R1 < R2 < R3 < R4

Answer

(B) R 4 3 2 1
