Question
The rate constant of the elementary reaction
BH, (aq) + NH (aq) → BH;NH3 (aq) + H2 (g)
is k = 1.94 x 10-4L mol¯' s-' at 30.0°C, and the reaction
has an activation energy of 161 kJ mol.
(a) Compute the rate constant of the reaction at a tem-
perature of 40.0°C.
(b) After equal concentrations of BH (aq) and NH, (aq)
are mixed at 30.0°C, 1.00 × 10ª s is required for half
of them to be consumed. How long will it take to
consume half of the reactants if an identical experi-
ment is performed at 40.0°C?
