The rate constants for the first-order decomposition of an organic compound in solution are measured at several temperatures. k/s^-1 1.91 x 10^-17 2.53 x 10^-16 2.82 x 10^-15 2.68 x 10^-14 2.21 x 10^-13 t/°C 5.0 15 25 35 45 Determine graphically the pre-exponential factor and the energy of activation for the reaction.
A first-order reaction has rate constants of $4.6 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ and $8.1 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ at $0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $20 .^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ respectively. What is the value of the activation energy?
