The answer is:
The rate constant K2 = 1.9 x 10^-4 1/s
The explanation:
According to Arrhenius equation:
ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)
when K is the rate constant
and Ea is the activation energy
R is the ideal gas constant
T1 & T2 is a temperature at kelvin
when we have:
Ea = 272 KJ = 272000 J
R is the ideal gas constant 8.3145 J/Kmol
K1 = 2.3 x 10^-5 1/s K2 = ?? that is we need to calculate
T1 = 718 K T2 =753 K
So by substitution:
ln(k₁/k₂) = Ea/R (1/T₂ - 1/T₁)
㏑(2.3X10^-5/K2) = [272000/8.314](1/753-1/718)
∴ K2 = 1.9 x 10^-4 1/s
Answer:
Protons contribute to the mass of an atom and provide the positive charge to the nucleus. The number of protons also determines the identity of the element. ... Since the atom is electrically neutral, the number of electrons must equal the number of protons.
