The activation energy of a certain uncatalyzed reaction is 64 kJ/mol. In the presence of a catalyst, the Ea is 55 kJ/mol. How ma

ny times faster is the catalyzed than the uncatalyzed reaction at 400 °C? Assume that the frequency factor remains the same.

Answer:

About 5 times faster.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the Arrhenius equation is considered for both the catalyzed reaction (1) and the uncatalized reaction (2), one determines the relationship between them as follows:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{Aexp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}  \\\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{Ea_1}{RT} )}{exp(-\frac{Ea_2}{RT})}

By replacing the corresponding values we obtain:

\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{exp(-\frac{55000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )}{exp(-\frac{64000J/mol}{8.314J/molK*673.15K} )} =4.8

Such result means that the catalyzed reaction is about five times faster than the uncatalyzed reaction.

Best regards.

Art [367]
Their locations can vary depending on the molecule they are associated with but they are usually in a "cloud " that is on the outside of an atom/molecule and if the atom is unstable the  electrons tend to be located farther away from the atom.
