The activation energy for the gas phase isomerization of cyclopropane is 272 kJ. (CH2)3CH3CH=CH2 The rate constant at 718 K is 2
NikAS [45]

The answer is:

The rate constant K2 = 1.9 x 10^-4 1/s

The explanation:

According to Arrhenius equation:

ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

when K is the rate constant

and Ea is the activation energy

R is the ideal gas constant

T1 & T2 is a temperature at kelvin

when we have:

Ea = 272 KJ = 272000 J

R is the ideal gas constant 8.3145 J/Kmol

K1 = 2.3 x 10^-5 1/s    K2 = ?? that is we need to calculate

T1 = 718 K     T2 =753 K

So by substitution:

ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)

㏑(2.3X10^-5/K2) = [272000/8.314](1/753-1/718)

∴ K2 = 1.9 x 10^-4 1/s

Julli [10]
Base on my research and further investigation about the said problem, the possbile answer would be this one. 

<span>1. calculate the g of PbO in the 272 g lead crystal (19% PbO) 272 g x 19 /100 = xxx g PbO xxx g PbO/molecular mass of PbO = moles PbO
 2. write and balance the equation of neutralization of PbO and sodium sulfide. PbO + sodium sulfide -> sodium oxide + lead sulfide
 3. Calculate the moles of sodium sulfide that will react with the moles of PbO
4. Convert the moles of sodium sulfide to g of sodium sulfide</span>

Methane from ohio's rose valley coal mine has successfully been used to power fuel cells. since the fuel used in these cells is
kirill [66]

Methane in fuel cells are not burned and therefore, help to reduce pollutants commonly associated with fossil fuel combustion.

<h3>What are fossil fuels?</h3>

Fossils fuels are fuels wgich are produced from fossils which have decomposed under intense heat and pressure over a long period of time.

Fossils fuels include:

  • methane
  • petrol
  • kerosene
  • diesel oil
  • coal

Fossils fuels combustion release pollutants into the atmosphere and have greatly contributed to global warming.

Since methane in fuel cells are not burned, it will help to reduce pollutants commonly associated with fossil fuel combustion.
