The temperature increase is from 19.5 to 100 degrees centigrade or 80.5 degrees centigrade. The calorie increase is 2.50 x 1000 x 0.238902957619 or a total of 597.25 calories. 597.25/80.5 = 7.419 calories per degree centigrade. 7.419/135 grams = 0.0549 calories/gram/degree centigrade. The conversion from kilo joules involves multiplying the calories per joule x 1000 to get the number of calories in one kilo joule and then by the 2.5.
A positive cahnge of enthalpy, ΔH rxn = + 55 kJ/mol, for the forward reaction means that the reaction is endothermic, i.e. the reactants absorb energy and the products are higher in energy.
Activation energy is the difference in the energy level of the reactants and the peak in the potential energy diagram (the energy of the transition state).
For an endothermic reaction, the products will be closer in energy to the transition state than what the reactans will be; so, the activation energy of the reversed reaction is lower than the activation energy of the forward reaction.
Activation energy of reverse and forward reactions is related by:
Activation energy of reverse rxn = Activation energy of forward rxn - ΔH rxn
=> Activiation energy of reverse rxn = 102 kJ/mol - 55 kJ/mol = 47 kJ/mol
Answer: 47 kJ/mol
Explanation:
Carbon that is a part of rocks and fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas may be held away from the rest of the carbon cycle for a long time. These changes add more greenhouse gases in our atmosphere and this causes climate change.
