Question

The rate of a reaction is measured as a function of temperature. Note that, in this reaction, rate is indirectly measured as time required to reach endpoint. How is this convereted to rate? Please determine the activation energy for the reaction while showing work (i.e. conversion of data to plotted parameters) and sketch a graph.

temp (C°) Time (sec)

10.2-----------2.2

.9 ------------18.6

-12.4-------- 94.1

-25----------244.3

-33.8----------1096

-41.2----------4130

-58.2-----------28215
