Answer the following based on the reaction. At 313 K, the rate constant for this reaction is 1.09×102 /s and at 564 K the rate constant is 6.62×106 /s.
cyclopentane → 1-pentene
1. Determine the activation energy (EA) (in kJ/mol) for this reaction.
2. Determine the pre-exponential factor, A (in /s) for this reaction.
3. Determine the rate constant (in /s) for this reaction at 1218 K.
Determine the activation energy (EA) (in kJ/mol) for this reaction.
ln (k2/k1) = (-Ea/R) [(1-T2) - (1/T1)]
ln ( 6.62×106 / 1.09×102) = -Ea / 8.314 [1/564-1/313]
Ea 1.710 e-4 = 11.014
Ea (activation energy) = 6.441 x 104
2. Determine the pre-exponential factor, A (in /s) for this reaction.
k=Ae−Ea/RT
ln k = ln A - Ea/RT
ln 6.62×106 = ln A - 6.441 x 104 / 8.314 x 564
ln A = 15.70 + 13.7363 = 29.4419
A (pre-exponential factor) = 6.08354 x 1012 S-1
3. Determine the rate constant (in /s) for this reaction at 1218 K.
rate constant (in /s) for this reaction at 1218 K
ln (k2/k1) = (-Ea/R) [(1-T2) - (1/T1)]
ln (K2 /6.62×106 ) = -6.441 x 104 / 8.314 [1/1218 - 1/564]
ln K2 = 23.08
K2 = 1.0524812872 x 1010 /S
