Consider a consecutive reaction with pre-equilibrium:

A + B ? X ? Z;   

The rate constant for each step is k1, k-1 and k2, respectively.

(b)Derive the expression for the observed activation energy in term of Ea1, Ea-1 and Ea2.

(c)Based on your results, sketch the different scenarios for the possible Arrhenius plots for this type of mechanism.

A. The Arrhenius equation shows the relationship between the rate constant k and the temperature T in kelvins and is typically written as k=Ae−Ea/RT where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol⋅K), A is a constant called the frequency factor, and Ea is the activation energy for the reaction. However, a more practical form of this equation is lnk2k1=EaR(1T1−1T2) which is mathematically equivalent to lnk1k2=EaR(1T2−1T1) where k1 and k2 are the rate constants for a single reaction at two different...
