Salty is solid molecular in water
Compound name:
- Chlorine monofluoride
Formula: ClF
Then as the electrons in the atoms fall back down, they emit electromagnetic radiation (light). The amount of light emitted at different wavelengths, called the emission spectrum, is shown for a discharge tube filled with hydrogen gas in Figure 12.6 below.
Answer : The activation energy of the reaction is, 
Solution :
The relation between the rate constant the activation energy is,
![\log \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}\times [\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7BK_2%7D%7BK_1%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20R%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_1%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_2%7D%5D)
where,
= initial rate constant = 
= final rate constant = 
= initial temperature = 
= final temperature = 
R = gas constant = 8.314 kJ/moleK
Ea = activation energy
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the activation energy.
![\log \frac{8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}}{4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times (8.314kJ/moleK)}\times [\frac{1}{468K}-\frac{1}{531K}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B8.75%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DL%2Fmole%5Ctext%7B%20s%7D%7D%7B4.55%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DL%2Fmole%5Ctext%7B%20s%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20%288.314kJ%2FmoleK%29%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B468K%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B531K%7D%5D)

Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is,
