Chapter 6, Problem 6H.1E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given data the ratio of rates of catalysed to non-catalysed reactions has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

  • Activation energy: It is defined as the minimum energy required by the reacting species in order to undergo chemical reaction.
  • Activation energy can be represented as Ea. The unit of activation energy is kJ/mol.
  • Catalyst: The catalyst is a chemical substance that increases the rate of the reaction without participating in the reaction by reducing the activation energy of the reaction.

Arrhenius equation:

  • Arrhenius equation is a formula that represents the temperature dependence of reaction rates
  • The Arrhenius equation has to be represented as follows

K=AeEa/RT

  • Ea represents the activation energy and it’s unit is kJ/mol
  • R represents the universal gas constant and it has the value of 8.314 J/K×mol
  • T represents the absolute temperature
  • A represents the frequency factor or collision frequency

The activation energy from the given information has to be calculated from the modified Arrhenius equation.
