If a temperature increase from 12. 0 °C to 20. 0 °C doubles the rate constant for a reaction. What is the value of the activation barrier for the reaction is 60.155KJ/mol.

<h3>What is activation energy? </h3>

Activation energy is defined as the minimum amount of energy required by molecules to occur a chemical reaction. It is denoted by Ea.

Given,

T1 = 12+273 = 285K

T2 = 20 +273 = 293K

Rate constant = k2/k1 = 2:1

Using arrhenius equation which give relationship between constant of reaction and temperature is

In(k2/k1) = Ea/(R[1/T1 - 1/T2]

where, Ea is the activation energy

and R is the gas constant

T1 is the initial temperature

T2 is the final temperature

In2= Ea/R[(1/285) - (1/293)]

Ea = In2 × 8.314 ×285×293/8

Ea = 0.301 ×8.314 ×285×293/8

Ea = 60155J/mol

Ea = 60.155KJ/mol.

Thus we calculated that the activation energy for a reaction at 12°C to 20°C is 60.155KJ/mol.

You need to make 10.0 L of 1.2 M KNO3. What molar ( concentration) would the potassium nitrate solution need to be if you were t
solniwko [45]

Answer:

2.5L [NaCl] concentrate needs to be 4.8 Molar solution before dilution to prep 10L of 1.2M KNO₃ solution.

Explanation:

Generally, moles of solute in solution before dilution must equal moles of solute after dilution.

By definition Molarity = moles solute/volume of solution in Liters

=> moles solute = Molarity x Volume (L)

Apply moles before dilution = moles after dilution ...

=> (Molarity X Volume)before dilution = (Molarity X Volume)after dilution

=> (M)(2.5L)before = (1.2M)(10.0L)after

=> Molarity of 2.5L concentrate = (1.2M)(10.0L)/(2.5L) = 4.8 Molar concentrate

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

c) No, because Celsius is not an absolute temperature scale

Explanation:

converting  5 oC to kelvin which is the absolute temperature scale gives = 273 + 5 = 278 K

and converting 20 oC to kelvin = 20 + 273 = 293 K

the ratio = 278 / 293 = 0.94 approx 1 not 4
