Chapter 15, Problem 83E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The activation energy for the reaction should be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Arrhenius equation is represented as follows:

  $\ln k=-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T}\right)+\ln A$

Here,

k − equilibrium constant

E_a − activation energy

R − universal gas constant

T − temperature

A − pre-exponential factor.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The value of the frequency factor should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Arrhenius equation is represented as follows:

  $\ln k=-\frac{E_a}{R}\left(\frac{1}{T}\right)+\ln A$

Here,

k − equilibrium constant

E_a − activation energy

R − universal gas constant

T − temperature

A − pre-exponential factor.
