A reaction was studied at various temperatures, and data below was collected. Determine the activation energy of the reaction, as well as the missing temperature.
T(°C) | K |
1 | 57 |
24 | 134 |
? | 75 |
1)
T1 = 1.0 oC
=(1.0+273)K
= 274.0 K
T2 = 24.0 oC
=(24.0+273)K
= 297.0 K
K1 = 57
K2 = 1.34*10^2
use:
ln(K2/K1) = (Ea/R)*(1/T1 - 1/T2)
ln(1.34*10^2/57) = ( Ea/8.314)*(1/274.0 - 1/297.0)
0.8548 = (Ea/8.314)*(2.826*10^-4)
Ea = 25145 J/mol
Ea = 25.145 KJ/mol
Answer: 25.145 KJ/mol
2)
T1 = 1.0 oC
=(1.0+273)K
= 274.0 K
K1 = 57
K2 = 75
Ea = 25.145 KJ/mol
= 25145 J/mol
use:
ln(K2/K1) = (Ea/R)*(1/T1 - 1/T2)
ln(75/57) = (25145/8.314)*(1/274.0 - 1/T2)
0.2744 = 3024.4166*(1/274.0 - 1/T2)
T2 = 281
= (281-273) oC
= 8 oC
Answer: 8 oC
