(a) What is the physical significance of energy of activation ? Explain with diagram.(b) In general, it is observed that the rate of a chemical reaction doubles with every 10 degree rise in temperature. If the generalization holds good for the reaction in the temperature range of 295 K to 305 K, what would be the value of activation energy for this reaction ?[R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1]
For the solidification of iron, calculate the critical radius r* and the activation
free energy AG* if nucleation is homogeneous. Values for the latent heat of
fusion and surface free energy are -1.85 x 10° J/m³ and 0.204 J/m?,
respectively. Use the supercooling value AT = 291 K, and the melting point of
iron is 1538°C.
Calculate the number of atoms found in a nucleus of critical size. Assume a
lattice parameter of 0.292 nm for solid iron at its melting temperature.
How much heat in joules must be added to 0.894 kg of beryllium to change it from a solid at 932°C to a liquid at 1285°C (its melting
