The reaction A(aq) → B(aq) + C(aq) is a first order reaction with respect to A(aq). The half-life of A(aq) is 97.1 s at 25.0oC and its half-life is 64.7 s at 75.0oC. What is its half-life at 50.0oC?
Constants at home temperature are calculated:
K1 = ln2 / t1 / 2 1 = ln 2 / 97.1 = 7.14E-3
K2 = 0.0107
The activation energy is calculated:
Ln (K2 / K1) = Ea / R * (1 / T1 - 1 / T2)
Ln (0.0107 / 7.14E-3) = Ea / 0.008314 * (1/298 - 1/348)
Cleared Ea = 6.98 kJ / mol
The constant is calculated at 323 K (50 ° C):
ln (K3 / 0.0107) = 6.98 / 0.008314 * (1/348 - 1/323)
K3 = 8.88E-3 is cleared.
The average time is calculated:
t 1/2 = ln 2 / 8.88E-3 = 78.06 s
