CHEM 1B Determination of an Activation Energy page 2 Analysis / Questions (fill in the blanks / answer the questions below): 1. The solvolysis reaction is 1ot -order in R-Cl , which means that: A[RC]_ Ki(RCI]? At K.(RCI]? + In CRCI]o In[RCI]t = - h·t Rate = and %3D 2. The color change occurs when the OH is 0Sedup , and the solution therefore goes from being basic blue y acidic, yellow to being 90 N2.7mL of the R-Cl is left. 3. In terms of R-Cl, this means that 10 7 of the R-Cl has reacted, and So at the time of the color change: [R-CI] = _0,90 [R-CI]o %3D 4. Substitute the value of [R-CI]t from Q.3. into the appropriate equation from Q.1., and solve for k in terms of [R-CI]o and t. Show your work! In [R-C]t CR-CI]o In 909o [R-C)o [R-CIJO - -Kt -Kt Inlo.9)=-Kt -0.105 6.105 5. Use your average time (tave) for each temperature, and determine the value of k (with units) at each temperature. Show a sample calculation, and record all k values in the table below. 53.l6 St49s 51.35 K- Qe105 =2.05x101 =2,05x10 ミノリキ 51.35 room temperature warm water bath cool water bath 32°C Temperature 20°C 10°C Kva 2.05xin 51.35 3.62x10 -4 Time 295 5.20xie 2025 5. Write the Arrhenius equation (which relates rate EA RT k = Ae constant, temperature and the activation energy). 6. Rearrange the Arrhenius equation into a linear form relating k and T (as done on a screencast and in "class"). Show your steps / explain your reasoning. CHEM 1B Determination of an Activation Energy page 3 7. To determine Ea, a graph of (in units of ) vs. needs to be made. (x-axis) (y-axis) This will yield a line with slope = 8. Enter the values used in the table. indicate units T (°C) tave (s) k ( T (K) 1/T (K-1) In k room temperature warm water bath cool water bath Use a graphing calculator or graphing program to make the graph needed to determine E. Sketch the graph to the right > with labeled axes and scales with units. Plot the data points and draw the line of best fit. State the slope of the line. 9. Determine the experimental value of Ea with correct significant figures and units. Show your work. Conclusion
Rate = -(Delta[RCl])/Delta t and
