314 J/mol K), and T is the temperature in Kelvin. We have two sets of data with different temperatures and rate constants, so we can set up two equations: k1 = A e^(-Ea/RT1) k2 = A e^(-Ea/RT2) Dividing the second equation by the first equation, we get: k2/k1 = Show more…

The reaction, C2H5I(aq) + OH-(aq) → C2H5OH(aq) + I-(aq), was studied in an aqueous ethanol solution and the following rate constants were obtained: (a) Use graphical analysis to calculate the activation energy, in kJ/mol, of the reaction. (b) What would the value of the rate constant be at 125°C? Temp (°C) | k (/M·s) 15.83 | 5.03 x 10^-5 32.02 | 3.68 x 10^-4 59.75 | 6.71 x 10^-3 90.61 | 0.119
