Chapter 15, Problem 98E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The temperature ( ${}^{0}C$ ) of the hydrogen peroxide that rise to equal the rate of the un-catalyzed reaction with the rate of the catalyzed reaction at ${20.0}^{0}C$ should be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Activation energy − minimum energy barrier that should be overcome for chemical reaction to take place..

Arrhenius equation;

  $k=A{e}^{\left(\frac{{}^{-E_a}}{RT}\right)}$

  $k=\text{ rate constant}$

  $A=\text{frequency factor}$

  $E_a=\text{activation energy of the reaction}$

  $R=\text{ universal gas constant}$

  $T=\text{temperature}$
