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

1. Define flash flood.
BigorU [14]
A flash flood is when to much water overflows a certain area. This is common with storms. When it rains; small bridges tend to floor. Garages, basements, and cellars can tend to flood as well from storms.

How many molecules of propane were in the erlenmeyer flask? Avogadro's number is 6. 022 × 10^23 molecules/mol
Ede4ka [16]

3.74×10^{21}

3.74 ×10^{21} molecules of propane were in the erlenmeyer flask.

number of moles of propane can be calculated as moles of propane.

mass of propane =  0.274 g

molar mass of propane = 44.1

So this gives us the value of 6.21×10^{-3} moles of propane

No one mole of propane As a 6.0-2 × 10^{23}

so, 6.21 ×10^{-3} × 6. 022 × 10^23

= 3.74 ×10^{21}

Therefore, molecules of propane were in the erlenmeyer flask is found to be 3.74 ×10^{21}

<h3>What is erlenmeyer flask?</h3>
  • A laboratory flask with a flat bottom, a conical body, and a cylindrical neck is known as an Erlenmeyer flask, sometimes known as a conical flask or a titration flask.
  • It bears the name Emil Erlenmeyer after the German chemist.

<h3>What purpose does an Erlenmeyer flask serve?</h3>
  • Liquids are contained in Erlenmeyer flasks, which are also used for mixing, heating, chilling, incubating, filtering, storing, and other liquid-handling procedures.
  • For titrations and boiling liquids, their sloped sides and small necks make it possible to whirl the contents without worrying about spills.
