The decomposition of A into product has value of k as 4.5 x 103 s-1 at 10°C and energy of activation 60 kJ mol-1. At what temperature would k be 1.5 x 104 s-1?
From Arrhenius equation, we obtain
log k2/k1 = Ea / 2.303 R (T2 - T1) / T1T2
Also, k1 = 4.5 × 103 s - 1
T1 = 273 + 10 = 283 K
k2 = 1.5 × 104 s - 1
Ea = 60 kJ mol - 1 = 6.0 × 104 J mol - 1
Then,
= 297 K = 24°C
Hence, k would be 1.5 × 104 s - 1 at 24°C.
