Answer:
i) The bond angle decreases due to the presence of lone pairs, which causes more repulsion on the bond pairs and as a result, the bond pairs tend to come closer. ii) The repulsion between electron pairs increases with an increase in electronegativity of the central atom and hence the bond angle increases.
Explanation:
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:
![\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{K_{244^oC}})=\frac{E_a}{R}[\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cln%28%5Cfrac%7BK_%7B324%5EoC%7D%7D%7BK_%7B244%5EoC%7D%7D%29%3D%5Cfrac%7BE_a%7D%7BR%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_1%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_2%7D%5D)
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 = ![244^oC=[273+244]K=517K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=244%5EoC%3D%5B273%2B244%5DK%3D517K)
= final temperature = ![324^oC=[273+324]K=597K](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=324%5EoC%3D%5B273%2B324%5DK%3D597K)
Putting values in above equation, we get:
![\ln(\frac{K_{324^oC}}{6.7})=\frac{71000J}{8.314J/mol.K}[\frac{1}{517}-\frac{1}{597}]\\\\K_{324^oC}=61.29M^{-1}s^{-1}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cln%28%5Cfrac%7BK_%7B324%5EoC%7D%7D%7B6.7%7D%29%3D%5Cfrac%7B71000J%7D%7B8.314J%2Fmol.K%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B517%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B597%7D%5D%5C%5C%5C%5CK_%7B324%5EoC%7D%3D61.29M%5E%7B-1%7Ds%5E%7B-1%7D)
Hence, the rate constant at 324°C is

hope this answer will help you.
Answer:
The activation energy for an endothermic reaction is quite large and usually takes extra energy from the environment, it is normally not a natural spontaneous process.
Explanation:
- Endothermic reactions require absorbing energy of the surrounding mainly in the form of heat.
- Chemical energy needs energy input to break the bonds.
- Examples of endothermic reactions: Photosynthesis
, melting of ice
, and evaporating liquid water.
