A reaction has a rate constant of 0.393 at 291 K and 1.41 at 345 K. Calculate the activation energy of this reaction in kJ/mol.
K1 = 0.393
T1 = 291K
K2 = 1.41
T2 = 345K
logK2/K1 = Ea/2.303R [1/T1-1/T2]
log1.41/0.393 = Ea/2.303*8.314 [1/291 -1/345]
0.5548 = Ea/19.147 (0.00343-0.00289)
0.5548*19.147 = Ea *0.00054
Ea = 0.5548*19.147/0.00054 = 19671.77J/mole = 19.672KJ/mole >>>>>answer
