The activation energy of an uncatalyzed reaction is 95kJ/mol. The addition of a catalyst lowers the activation energy to 55kJ/mo

l. Assuming that the collision factor remains the same, by what factor will the catalyst increase the rate of the reaction at (a) 25°C, (b) 125°C?

Answer:

a) at 25°C the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1,027*10^7

b) at 25°C the rate of reaction increases by a factor of 1,777*10^5

Explanation:

using the Arrhenius equation

k= ko*e^(-Ea/RT)

where

k= reaction rate

ko= collision factor

Ea= activation energy

R= ideal gas constant= 8.314 J/mol*K

T= absolute temperature

for the uncatalysed reaction

k1= ko*e^(-Ea1/RT)

for the catalysed reaction

k2= ko*e^(-Ea2/RT)

dividing both equations

k2/k1= e^(-(Ea2-Ea1)/RT)

a) at 25°C

k2/k1 = e^(-(55kJ/mol-95kJ/mol)/(8.314J/mol*K*298K)* (1000J/kJ ) ) = 1,027*10^7

therefore at 25°C , k2/k1 = 1,027*10^6

b) at 125°C

k2/k1 = e^(-(55kJ/mol-95kJ/mol)/(8.314J/mol*K*298K)* (1000J/kJ ) ) = 1,777*10^5

therefore at 125°C , k2/k1 = 1,777*10^5

Note:

when the catalysts is incorporated, the catalysed reaction and the uncatalysed one run in parallel and therefore the real reaction rate is

k real = k1 + k2 = k2 (1+k1/k2)

since k2>>k1 → 1+k1/k2 ≈ 1 and thus k real ≈ k2

Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

In order to prepare 10 mL, 5 μM; <em> 2 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted with water up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 10 μM; <em>4 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 15 μM; <em>6 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 20 μM; <em>8 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

Explanation:

Using the dilution equation:

no of moles before dilution = no of moles after dilution.

Molarity x volume (initial)= Molarity x volume (final).

In order to prepare 10 mL, 5 μM from 25 μM solution,

Final molarity = 5 μM, final volume = 10 mL, initial molarity = 25 μM, initial volume = ?

25 x initial volume = 5 x 10

Initial volume = 50/25

                       = 2 mL

<em>2 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

<em />

In order to prepare 10 mL, 10 μM from 25 μM stock,

25 x initial volume = 10 x 10

Initial volume = 100/25 = 4 mL

<em>4 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 15 μM from 25 μM stock,

25 x initial volume = 15 x 10

initial volume = 150/25 = 6 mL

<em>6 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>

In order to prepare 10 mL, 20 μM from 25 μM stock,

25 x initial volume = 20 x 10

initial volume = 200/25 = 8 mL

<em>8 mL of the 25 μM stock solution will be taken and diluted up to 10 mL mark.</em>
