Question

± The Arrhenius Equation Part A The Arrhenius equation shows the relationship between the rate constant k and the temperature T in kelvins and is typically written as The activation energy of a certain reaction is 46.0 kJ/mol. At 24 C, the rate constant is 0.0190s.At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast? Express your answer with the appropriate units. Hints where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol K), A is a constant called the frequency factor, and Es is the activation energy for the reaction. However, a more practical form of this equation is Th= 56.5 which is mathmatically equivalent to Submit My Answers Give Up ln (4-4 Incorrect; Try Again; 2 attempts remaining where ki and k2 are the rate constants for a single reaction at two different absolute temperatures (T1 and T2) Part B Given that the initial rate constant is 0.01 90s 1 at an initial temperature of 24C , what would the rate constant be at a temperature of 180 ° C for the same reaction described in Part A?

Explanation / Answer

A)

we have:

T1 = 24 oC

=(24+273)K

= 297 K

K2/K1 = 2

Ea = 46 KJ/mol

= 46000 J/mol

we have below equation to be used:

ln(K2/K1) = (Ea/R)*(1/T1 - 1/T2)

ln(2/1) = (46000.0/8.314)*(1/297.0 - 1/T2)

0.6931 = 5532.8362*(1/297.0 - 1/T2)

T2 = 308 K

= (308-273) oC

= 35 oC

Answer: 35 oC

B)

we have:

T1 = 24 oC

=(24+273)K

= 297 K

T2 = 180 oC

=(180+273)K

= 453 K

K1 = 1.90*10^-2 s-1

Ea = 46 KJ/mol

= 46000 J/mol

we have below equation to be used:

ln(K2/K1) = (Ea/R)*(1/T1 - 1/T2)

ln(K2/1.90*10^-2) = (46000.0/8.314)*(1/297.0 - 1/453.0)

ln(K2/1.90*10^-2) = 5533*(1.159*10^-3)

K2 = 11.6 s-1

Answer: 11.6 s-1
