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.

What is the percent by mass of carbon in acetone, c 3 h 6 o?
Tatiana [17]
In the problem, we are tasked to solved for the amount of carbon (C) in the acetone having a molecular formula of C 3 H 6 O. We need to find first the molecular weight if Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), Oxygen (O).

Molecular Weight:
C=12 g/mol
H=1 g/mol
O=16 g/mol

To calculate for the percent by mass of acetone, we assume 1 mol of acetone.
%C=( \frac{3(12 g/mol)}{3(12 g/mol)+6(1 g/mol)+16 g/mol} ) x 100%
%C=62.07%
Therefore, the percent by mass of carbon in acetone is 62.07%
