Question
For a hypothetical reaction the rate constant is $4.63 \times$ $10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $2.37 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ at $43^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculatethe activation energy.
Step 1
The equation is given by: \[k = A \exp\left(-\frac{Ea}{RT}\right)\] where A is the pre-exponential factor, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin. Show more…

The rate constant of a reaction is $4.7 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{s}^{-1}$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},$ and the activation energy is 33.6 $\mathrm{kJ} / \mathrm{mol}$ . What is $k$ at $75^{\circ} \mathrm{C} ?$
For the reaction $$ \mathrm{N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{5}(\mathrm{~g}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{NO}_{2}(\mathrm{~g})++\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) $$ the rate constant $k$ at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ is $3.46 \times 10^{-5} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ and at $55^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ it is $1.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. Calculate the activation energy, $E_{1}$
The rate constant of a reaction is $1.5 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ at $50^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and $4.5 \times 10^{7} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$ at $100^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$.
