Chapter 17, Problem 17D.5BE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The fraction of molecular collisions at $\text{500 K}$ result in a given bimolecular reaction with ${\text{E}}_{\text{a}}{\text{ = 80kJmol}}^{-1}$ has to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The fraction of molecular collisions is calculated by using following formula,

  $f\text{=}{\text{e}}^{\frac{\text{-Ea}}{\text{RT}}}$

Where Ea is activation energy, T is temperature.
