Question

A reaction has a rate constant of 1.27×10−4 s−1s−1 at 29  ∘C ∘C and 0.233 s−1s−1 at 76  ∘C ∘C .

Part A

Determine the activation barrier for the reaction.        
Express your answer in units of kilojoules per mole.
 
Part B
 
What is the value of the rate constant at 15  ∘C ∘C ?        
Express your answer in units of inverse seconds.

Step 1: Arrhenius equation

Answer:

This question is based on Arrhenius equation which is mentioned below:

ln straight k subscript 2 over straight k subscript 1 equals straight E subscript straight a over straight R open parentheses 1 over straight T subscript 1 minus 1 over straight T subscript 2 close parentheses

Here:

straight E subscript straight a equals activation space energy
straight R equals universal space gas space constant

straight k subscript 2 and  straight k subscript 1 are the rate constants at temperatures T2 and T1 respectively
