Question
[4] The reaction: 21 (aq) + S2O;²-(aq) → I½(aq) + 2SO,²-(aq) is first order with respect to I and first order with
respect to S20g. The rate constant k was determined at different temperatures and a plot of In(k) versus 1/T was
constructed resulting in the straight line: y = -5781.8x + 14.1. Assume k has units of M's.
(a) Determine the activation energy for this reaction.
(b) Calculate the value of k at 20 °C.
