An ideal gas is defined as one in which all collisions between atoms or molecules are perfectly eleastic and in which there are no intermolecular attractive forces. One can visualize it as a collection of perfectly hard spheres which collide but which otherwise do not interact with each other.

Suppose that a catalyst lowers the activation barrier of a reaction from 125kJ/mol to 55kJ/mol125⁢kJ/mol to 55kJ/mol. By what fa

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The factor of increasing reaction rate is 1,85x10¹².

Explanation:

Using arrhenius formula:

$k = A e^\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}$

Where k is rate constant; A is frecuency factor; Eₐ is activation energy; R is gas constant (0,008134 kJ/molK); T is temperature 25°C = 298,15K

Thus, replacing for an activation energy of 125 kJ/mol assuming A as 1:

k = 1,25x10⁻²²

When activation energy is 55kJ/mol:

k = 2,31x10⁻¹⁰

Thus, the factor of increasing reaction rate is:

2,31x10⁻¹⁰/1,25x10⁻²² = 1,85x10¹²

I hope it helps!

A student sees an absorbance a=1.140 for his solution that has a concentration of c=1.50*10-4 m using 0.50 cm cuvette. what is t

777dan777 [17]

The molar extinction coefficient is 15,200 $M^{-1} cm^{-1}$ .

The formula to be used to calculate molar extinction coefficient is -

A = ξcl, where A represents absorption, ξ refers molar extinction coefficient, c refers to concentration and l represents length.

The given values are in required units, hence, there is no need to convert them. Directly keeping the values in formula to find the value of molar extinction coefficient.

Rewriting the formula as per molar extinction coefficient -

ξ = $\frac{A}{cl}$
