Chapter 14, Problem 14.134MP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The concentration of HI with rate $1.0\times {10}^{-5}\text{ M/s}$ at 650 K needs to be detremined.

Concept introduction:

Rate law for a reaction at given temperature can be represented as follows:

$\text{Rate}=k{\left[\text{A}\right]}^x$

Here, $k$ is rate constant for the reaction, $\left[\text{A}\right]$ is concentration of reactant and x is order of the reaction.

Also, the relation between two rate constants and two different temperature values can be represented as follows:

$\ln \left(\frac{k_2}{k_1}\right)=\left(\frac{E_a}{R}\right)\left(\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}\right)$

Here, $E_a$ is activation energy of the reaction and R is Universal gas constant.
