Solutions

Expert Solution

logK2/K1   = Ea/2.303R[1/T1 -1/T2]

log0.00108/0.0000763 = Ea/2.303*8.314 [1/399 -1/427]

1.1508                        = Ea/19.147 (0.0025-0.00234)

          Ea                       = 1.1508*19.147/(0.0025-0.00234)

                                      = 1.1508*19.147/0.00016

                                        = 137714 J   = 137.714KJ

logK2/K1   = Ea/2.303R[1/T1 -1/T2]

          T2 = 25C = 25+273 = 298K

           T1   = 4C   = 4+273 = 277K

log20   = Ea/2.303*8.314 [1/277-1/298]

1.3010 = Ea/19.147 (0.0036-0.00335)

Ea         = 1.3010*19.147/(0.0036-0.00335)

               = 24.91/0.00025   = 99640J = 99.640KJ = 100KJ
