If a temperature increase from 12.0 ∘c to 22.0 ∘c doubles the rate constant for a reaction, what is the value of the activation

barrier for the reaction?
Chemistry

Alex73 [517]3 years ago

Answer: 48,501 J/mol


Explanation:


1) Action barrier = activation energy = Ea


2) Data:


i) T₁ = 12°C = 12 + 273.15 K = 285.15K

ii) T₂ = 22°C = 22 + 273.15 K = 295.15 K

iii) rate constant = k: k₂ / k₁ = 2


iv) Ea = ?


3) Formula:


Arrhenius' law gives the relationship between the constant of reaction and the temperature:


k=Ae^{-\frac{Ea}{RT}}


4) Solution


By arranging the formula, you get:


㏑[k₂/k₁] =Ea/R [1/T₁ - 1/T₂]


Replace k₂ = 2k₁; T₁ = 285.15; and T₂ = 295.15


ln[2] = Ea/8.314 J/K mol × [1/285.15 - 1/295.15]K


Ea = ln [2] × 8.314 J/K mol / [1.18818×10⁻⁴K] = 48,501 J/mol

Is BH2F a gas or a liquid and what is the boiling point
hram777 [196]
Hey I tried but could not find your answer, but maybe you could try to calculate the average of bpts of the different elements in the compound to find the boiling point. And when you know the bpt, you can find out whether it is a liquid or gas. But after searching a lot, I found it was a solid. Good luck!

Which of these electron transitions correspond to absorption of energy and which to emission?
Keith_Richards [23]

The electron transitions representing absorption of energy are:

(a) n = 2 to n = 4

(d) n = 3 to n = 4

and those which represents emissions of energy are:

(b) n = 3 to n = 1

(c) n = 5 to n = 2

An electron emits energy when it jumps from a higher energy level to a lower energy level transitions.

An electron absorbs energy to jump from a lower energy level to a higher energy level transitions.

(a) n = 2 to n = 4

Here, the initial level (2) is lower than the final level (4).

Hence energy is absorbed.

(b) n = 3 to n = 1

Here, the initial level (3) is higher than the final level (1).

Hence energy is released.

(c) n = 5 to n = 2

Here, the initial level (5) is higher than the final level (2).

Hence energy is released.

(d) n = 3 to n = 4

Here, the initial level (3) is lower than the final level (4).

Hence energy is absorbed.

What are 2 of the characteristics of temporary physical change
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Temporary in nature.

No new substance is formed.

Explanation:

Temporary in nature: Does not affect the internal structure of a substance, only the molecules are rearranged.

No new substance is formed: Most of the physical changes are reversible. We can obtain the substance back even after the change.

hope this helps

Which of these describes an ethical dilemma that drug designers could face?
LenKa [72]

The statement 'whether people should take medicine or if they should seek alternative treatments' describes an ethical dilemma that drug designers face.

<h3>What is drug development?</h3>

Drug development refers to all the processes from target drug identification to drug validation and commercialization.

Drug development involves different stages of development including preclinical and clinical trials.

Ethical dilemmas in drug development include the release of a drug that is ineffective when compared to parallel treatments.
