The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:
The rate constant of a certain reaction is known to obey the Arrhenius equation, and to have an activation energy Ea = 71.0 kJ/mol . If the rate constant of this reaction is 6.7 M^(-1)*s^(-1) at 244.0 degrees Celsius, what will the rate constant be at 324.0 degrees Celsius?
<u>Answer:</u> The rate constant at 324°C is
<u>Explanation:</u>
To calculate rate constant at two different temperatures of the reaction, we use Arrhenius equation, which is:
where,
= equilibrium constant at 244°C =
= equilibrium constant at 324°C = ?
= Activation energy = 71.0 kJ/mol = 71000 J/mol (Conversion factor: 1 kJ = 1000 J)
R = Gas constant = 8.314 J/mol K
= initial temperature =
= final temperature =
Putting values in above equation, we get:
Hence, the rate constant at 324°C is
