Answer:

a) Ea=-131.522x10^{3}\frac{J}{mol}

b) k_3=1.98x10^{-5}s^{-1}

Explanation:

Hello,

a) In this case, for this kinetics problem, we can consider the temperature-dependent Arrhenius equation:

ln(\frac{k_2}{k_1} )=\frac{Ea}{R}(\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}  )

In such a way, for the given temperatures and rate constant, we compute the activation energy as follows:

ln(\frac{0.228s^{-1}}{0.000122s^{-1}} )=\frac{Ea}{R}(\frac{1}{(77+273)K}-\frac{1}{(27+273)K}  )\\\\7.533=\frac{Ea}{R}*-4.762x10^{-4}K^{-1}\\ \\Ea=R\frac{7.533}{-4.762x10^{-4}K^{-1}} \\

Ea=8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}*-15819.3K\\\\Ea=-131.522x10^{3}\frac{J}{mol}

b) In this case, we use the previously computed activation energy in order to compute the rate constant at the asked 17°C:

k_3=k_1exp(\frac{Ea}{R}(\frac{1}{T_2}-\frac{1}{T_1}  ))\\\\k_3=0.000122s^{-1}exp[\frac{-131.522x10^3\frac{J}{mol} }{8.314\frac{J}{mol*K}}*(\frac{1}{(17+273)K} -\frac{1}{(27+273)K} )]\\\\k_3=1.98x10^{-5}s^{-1}

Best regards.

Calculate the mass of Octane needed to release 6.20 mol Co2
n200080 [17]
The combustion reaction of octane is as follow,

                           C₈H₁₈  +  25/2 O₂     →     8 CO₂  +  9 H₂O

According to balance equation,

8 moles of CO₂ are released when  =  114.23 g (1 mole) Octane is reacted

So,

      6.20 moles of CO₂ will release when  =  X g of Octane is reacted

Solving for X,
                                     X  =  (114.23 g × 6.20 mol) ÷ 8 mol

                                     X  =  88.52 g of Octane
Result:
           88.52 g of Octane is needed to release 6.20 mol CO₂.

snow_lady [41]
The cryosphere can affect the atmosphere by letting the Earth get to warm. The cryosphere protects the Earth from getting to warm.

sergij07 [2.7K]
You can use the mass of neuron divided by the mass of conversion factor: 1.67*10^(-25)/(1.66054*10^(-24))≈1 amu. So the answer is 1 amu.
