Answer:

The activation energy is 164.02 kJ/mol

Explanation:

Log (k2/k1) = Ea/2.303R × [1/T1 - 1/T2]

k1 = 8.9×10^-4 s^-1

k2 = 9.83×10^-3 s^-1

R = 8.314 J/mol.K

T1 = 540 K

T2 = 578 K

Log (9.83×10^-3/8.9×10^-4) = Ea/2.303×8.314 × [1/540 - 1/578]

1.043 = 6.359×10^-6Ea

Ea = 1.043/6.359×10^-6 = 164020 J/mol = 164020/1000 = 164.02 kJ/mol

Lostsunrise [7]

Answer;

Water has the highest normal boiling point and methanol on the other hand has the lowest boiling point.

Explanation;

-The normal boiling point is the temperature in which the vapor pressure of a liquid becomes equal to atmospheric pressure.If the inter-molecular forces are small, the liquid has a high vapor pressure. Little heat energy will have to be added to separate the molecules, so the boiling point will be low.

-Boiling points and equilibrium vapor pressure are inversely proportional, because less heat is required to raise vapor pressure to reach atmospheric pressure.

-Therefore, since water has the lowest vapor pressure, water it has the highest boiling point and since methanol has the highest vapor pressure it has the lowest boiling point.
