Chapter 11, Problem 58QRT

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The rate of the reaction of $cis-CHClCHCl$ giving $trans-CHClCHCl$ at ${400}^{o}Cand{800}^{o}C$ has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The temperature dependence of rate constant can be explained through Arrhenius equation.

  $k=A{e}^{\frac{-E_a}{RT}}$

Where $k$ is the rate constant, $A$ is the frequency factor, $E_a$ is the activation energy, $R$ is the universal gas constant and $T$ is the temperature.
