Question
The activation energy for a first order reaction is 100.6 kj/mole at 121°C. What is the rate constant at this temperature if the frequency factor is 1 x 10^12
Expert Solution
Step 1

Activation energy (Ea) = 100.6 KJ/mol ...Or

because 1 KJ = 1000 J    so, 

= 100.6 KJ/mol × (1000 J / 1 KJ) 

= 100.6 × 1000 J/mol.

Temperature (T) = 121°C  ....Or

because k = 0°C + 273   so, T becomes -

= 121°C + 273

= 394 k 

Frequency factor (A) = 1 × 1012

Rate constant (K) = ?
