Question
The activation energy of a certain reaction is 41.8 kJ/mol . At 29∘C , the rate constant is 0.0180s−1. At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast?
Solve the following equation for T2:
ln (k2/k1) = Ea/R (1/T1−1/T2)
The temperatures must be in kelvins and the activation energy must be in J/mol. Use the following value for the gas constant: R=8.314 J/mol⋅K.
