Explanation / Answer

Part A)

They ask us for the K value

this is given as follows:

K = A*exp(-E/RT)

K = 3.7*10^12*exp[-61/(8.31)*(26+273)] = 3.7*10^12 * 0.975 = 3.61*10^12

K = 3.61*10^12 same units as A

K = 3.61*10^12 M-1s-1

Part B)

LEt us have 2 equations

ln K1 = -(E/R)*(1/T1) + lnA (1)

ln K2 = -(E/R)*(1/T2) + lnA (2)

Assume A1= A2 and E1=E2 since it is the same reaction, besides R is constant anywhere

Then Substract 1 and 2

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

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

Where

K1 = 109

T1= 352

K2 = 185

T2 = 426

E = ?

R = 8.313 kJ/kmol
