1. The activation energy of a certain reaction is 41.5kJ/mol . At 20 ?C , the rate constant is 0.0110s?1. At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast?

Given:

Ea = 41.5 kJ/mol = 41500 J/mol

At 20 deg C , Rate constant lets say k1 = 0.0110 s-1

We have to find out temperature at which reaction twice as fast.

That means we have to find the temperature at which k is twice as the k1 is and this lets say this ka s k2

k1= 0.0110 s-1 at T1 = 20 deg C = 20+273.15 = 293.15 K

k2 = 2 * k1 = 2* 0.0110 s-1 = 0.022 s-1 , T2 = ?

Lets use Arrhenius equation to solve for T2

ln (k2/k1) = -Ea / R ( 1/T2 -1/T1)

Here k2 and k1 are the rate constant of the reaction at T2 and T1 respectively.

Ea is activation energy and R is gas constant and value or R is 8.314 J /K mol

Lets plug all given values in above equation to get T2

ln (0.022/0.0110) = - [( 41500 J/ mol )/ (8.314 J / K mol )] * (1/T2
