Question

A reaction A--B is studies at two temperatures. Use the data here to determine its Ea.

Report your answer in J/mol to 3 significant figures.

T ( deg C)            k (M/s)277               

    277                       0.282627                 

    627                         0.291

Expert Solution
Step 1

According to the Antoine equation,

Chemistry homework question answer, step 1, image 1

where K2 = rate constant at temperature 2 i.e 627 oC = 0.291 M/s

K1 = equilibrium constant at temperature 1 i.e 277 oC = 0.282627 M/s

Ea = Activation energy of reaction 

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K.mol

T1 = temperature 1 in K = 273 + 277 = 550 K

T2 = temperature 2 in K = 273 + 627 = 900 K
