Explanation / Answer

We need to plot lnK on y axis and 1/T on x axis

K = 0.398

ln K = ln (0.398) = -0.9213

T = 325.0

1/T = 0.00308

point 1 is:

x = 0.00308

y = -0.9213

K = 0.677

ln K = ln (0.677) = -0.39008

T = 575.0

1/T = 0.00174

point 2 is:

x = 0.00174

y = -0.39008

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

rise = (y1-y2) = -0.9213 - -0.39008 = -0.53122

rise = (X1-X2) = 0.00308 - 0.00174 = 0.00134

slope = rise/run

= -0.53122/0.00134

= -397.0864

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

use

slope = - Ea/R

= -397.0864 = -Ea/8.314

Ea = 3301.38 J/mol
