Answer: The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol
Explanation:
According to Arrhenius equation with change in temperature, the formula is as follows.
![ln \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}} = \frac{-E_{a}}{R}[\frac{1}{T_{2}} - \frac{1}{T_{1}}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%20%5Cfrac%7Bk_%7B2%7D%7D%7Bk_%7B1%7D%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-E_%7Ba%7D%7D%7BR%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_%7B2%7D%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_%7B1%7D%7D%5D)
= rate constant at temperature 
= 
= rate constant at temperature 
= 
= activation energy = ?
R= gas constant = 8.314 J/kmol
= temperature = 
= temperature = 
Putting in the values ::
![ln \frac{4.8\times 10^8}{2.3\times 10^8} = \frac{-E_{a}}{8.314}[\frac{1}{649} - \frac{1}{553}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%20%5Cfrac%7B4.8%5Ctimes%2010%5E8%7D%7B2.3%5Ctimes%2010%5E8%7D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B-E_%7Ba%7D%7D%7B8.314%7D%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B649%7D%20-%20%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B553%7D%5D)
The activation energy Ea for this reaction is 22689.8 J/mol
Formula for calculation of neutrons is Mass number - atomic number, here values are given. By putting values in formula 76-35= 41. Number of neutrons 41
Answer :
- Nuclear fission : In nuclear reaction, the nucleus of a larger atom breaks into two or more smaller nuclei. In fission process, protons and neutrons are produced and larger amount of energy is released.
Example : In nuclear power plant, the energy released from the process of nuclear fission which is converted into electrical energy that is used in our homes and factories.
- Nuclear fusion : In nuclear reaction, the nuclei of two or more smaller atoms combine together to form single larger molecule. In fusion process, the mass of the resulting nuclei is more as compared to the starting nuclei and large amount of energy is also released.
Example : This process occurs in the sun and stars. In this, the isotopes of Hydrogen, Tritium and Deuterium combine together to form a neutron and a helium atom under high pressure and temperature.
