Answer:

53.7kJ/mol

Explanation:

Using Arrhenius equation

Given

T1 = 12°C = 273 + 12 = 285K

T2 = 21°C = 273 + 21 = 294K

k = A exp(-Ea/RT)

Where k = Rate constant

A = the pre-exponential factor

Ea = the activation energy

R = the Universal Gas Constant = 8.314J/kmol

T = the temperature

Taking logarithms of both sides of the Arrhenius Equation.

ln(k) = ln(A) - Ea/RT

If there are the rates at two different temperatures, we can derive the expression to be;

ln(k2/k1) = Ea/R(1/T1 - 1/T2)

The reaction doubles the rate constant

So, k2/k1 = 2 (Given)

Then we have

ln(2) = Ea/8.314(1/285 - 1/294)

ln(2) * 8.314 = Ea*(1/285 - 1/294)

6.9314E-1 * 8.314 = Ea*(1/285 - 1/294)

5.7628 = Ea*(1/285 - 1/294)

5.7628 = Ea*1.0741E-4

Ea = 5.7628 / 1.074E-4

Ea = 53657.35567970204J

Ea = 53.7kJ/mol

[OH-] for a solution is
solong [7]

Answer:

B = basic

Explanation:

Given data:

[OH⁻] = 5.35×10⁻⁴M

pH = ?

Solution:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

pOH = - [5.35×10⁻⁴]

pOH = 3.272

it is known that,

pH + pOH = 14

pH = 14- pOH

pH = 14 - 3.272

pH = 10.728

The acidic pH is range from zero to less than 7 while 7 pH is neutral and above 7 the pH is basic. So, the given solution is basic.
