Question
The rate constant (k) for a reaction is measured as a function oftemperature. A plot of ln k versus 1>T (in K) is linear and has aslope of -7445 K. Calculate the activation energy for the reaction.
Step 1
According to the Arrhenius equation in slope-intercept form, the slope of this plot is equal to -Ea/R, where Ea is the activation energy and R is the gas constant. Therefore, we can write the equation as: -7445 K = -Ea/R Show more…
