The rate constant (k) for a reaction was measured as a function of temperature. a plot of lnk versus 1/t(in k) is linear and has
1 answer:
The Arrhenius equation is
so if we plot a graph between lnK (natural log of rate constant) and 1/T (inverse of temperature in kelvin)
The straight line equation will be
lnK = lnA - Ea/RT
Where
A = constant for a particular reaction at any temperature
R = gas constant = 8.314 J /molK
So as per this equation the slope of line will be = -Ea/R
Or
Ea = -slope X R
Ea = -(-9.20X10³X 8.314) =76.49kJ /mol
Answer: activation energy = 76.49 kJ /mol

5. 1.16 x moles moles of pennies would be required to equal the mass of the moon.
6. 12.86 moles of ethanol are in a 750 ml bottle of vodka.
Explanation:
5 .Data given:
mass of penny = 2.5 grams
atomic mass of penny = 62.93 grams/mole
moles present in mass of the moon given as = 7.3 x kg
number of moles =
number of moles =
0.039 moles of penny is present in 2.5 grams
0.039 moles of penny in 2.5 grams of it
so, x moles in 7.3 X grams
x = 1.16 x moles
so when the mass of the penny given is equal to the mass of moon, number of moles of penny present is 1.1 x .
6.
Given:
vodka = 40% ethanol
volume of vodka bottle = 750 ml
moles of ethanol =?
density of ethanol =0.79 g/ml
atomic mass of ethanol = 46.07 grams/mole
so, from the density of ethanol given we can calculate how much ethanol is present in the solution.
density =
density x volume = mass
0.79 x 750 = 592.5 grams
number of moles =
number of moles of ethanol =
= 12.86 moles of ethanol
