Chapter 14.4, Problem 1CP

Use the table of data collected for a first-order reaction to answer questions 14.4.1 and 14.4.2:

T(K)	$k(s^{-1})$
300	$3.9 \times {10}^{-2}$
310	$1.1 \times {10}^{-1}$
320	$2.8 \times {10}^{-1}$

What is the activation energy of the reaction?

a)

$\text{88 kJ/mol}$

b)

$\text{8}\text{.8 }\times {\text{10}}^{\text{4}}\text{ kJ/mol}$

c)

$\text{8}\text{.0}\times {\text{10}}^{\text{4}}\text{ kJ/mol}$

d)

$\text{8}\text{.8 }\times {\text{10}}^{\text{-3}}\text{ kJ/mol}$

e)

$\text{80 kJ/mol}$
