8. The rate constant for a reaction was measured as a function of temperature, as shown below. Use
Excel to create a graph of In(k) vs 1/T. Insert a linear trendline and use the trendline equation to
calculate the activation energy for the reaction.
Temp (K)
k (s1)
284.35
0.00111
297.35
0.00260
307.45

Expert Solution
Step 1

Rate constant k is related to the activation energy of a reaction by Arrhenius equation.

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

k = rate constant

A = pre-exponential factor

Ea = activation energy

R = Universal gas constant

T = Temperature.

Taking natural logarithm in both side of equation 1,

ln k = ln A - EaRT.... (2)By plotting lnk vs. 1T,intercept = ln Aslope = EaR
