Question

Please Give Details:

1) Isomerization reactions are a common example of reversible first order reactions. Consider the following isomerization reaction A Both side arrow B (1.1) where k1 is the rate constant for the reaction in the forward direction, k.1 is the rate constant for the reaction in the reverse direction, and k = k1 + K.1 is the rate constant for the approach of the system to equilibrium. In a particular experiment, it ?s observed that k = 4.2 x 10^-3 s^-1. At the same temperature the value for K, the equilibrium constant, is K = 8.2. Based on this information, find values for k1 and k.1, including correct units.

Explanation / Answer

K=8.2

k1/k.1=8.2

k1=8.2k.1

k=k1+k.1=4.2 x10-3 s-1

9.2k.1=4.2 x10-3 s-1

k.1=4.565 x10-4 s-1

k1=8.2k.1=3.743 x10-3 s-1
