Question

Part A

The activation energy of a certain reaction is 40.9 kJ/mol . At 30 C , the rate constant is 0.0130s1 . At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Part B

Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0130s1 at an initial temperature of 30 C , what would the rate constant be at a temperature of 200 C for the same reaction described in Part A?

Explanation / Answer

To calculate the temperature at which reaction go twice as fast use The Arrhenius Equation as follows:

ln(k/k) = - (Ea/R)[(1/T) - (1/T)]

Here,

T = 30 C or 303 K

k = 0.0130 /s.

k2 = 0.0130 /s *2

Ea = 40.9 kJ/mol or 40900 J/mol

R = 8.314 J/mol•K

– [(1/T) - (1/T)] = (R/Ea)ln(k/k)

Now put all values

–(1/T) + (1/303 K) = [(8.314 J/mol•K)/(40900 J/mol)]ln(2)

(1/T) = [(1/303) – 1.41 × 10] K¹ = 3.16× 10³

T= 316.5 K or 43.5 C

Part B

To calculate the rate constant be at a temperature of 200 C use The Arrhenius Equation as follows:

ln(k/k) = - (Ea/R)[(1/T) - (1/T)]

Here,

T = 30 C or 303 K

T2 = 200 C or 473 K

k = 0.0130 /s.

k2 =?

Ea = 40.9 kJ/mol or 40900 J/mol

R = 8.314 J/mol•K

In k-Ink = - (Ea/R)[(1/T) - (1/T)]

In k-In 0.0130 /s. = - (40900 J/mol/8.314 J/mol•K)[(1/473) - (1/303)K]

In k-(-4.34). = - 4919.12 [(2.11*10^-3) - (3.30*10^-3)K]

In k = 5.85 -4.34=1.51

k = e^1.51= 4.52/s
