Answer:

a) the activation barrier = 122.3 kJ/mol

b) The rate constant at 425 K = 0.1001 /s

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Rate constant k1 = 1.15 * 10^−2 /s  at 400K (= T1)

Rate constant k2 = 0.685 /s at 450K (=T2)

Step 2: Determine the activation barrier for the reaction.

To determine the activation energy we will use the two-point Arrhenius equation:

ln(k₂/k₁) =  (Ea/R)((1/T1) - (1/T2))

⇒ with Ea = the activating energy

 ⇒ with R = the gas constant = 8.314 J/mol* K

⇒ with k1  = rate constant 1 = 1.15 *10^-2 /s

⇒ with T1 = Temperature 1 = 400 K

⇒ with k2 = rate constant 2 = 0.685/s

⇒ with T2 = temperature 2 = 450 K

= - (Ea/R)(T₁ - T₂)/T₁T₂

Ea = (R*ln (k2/k1)) / ((1/T1)- (1/T2))

Ea = (8.314* ln(0.685/0.0115)) / ((1/400) - (1/450))

Ea = 122327.6 = 122.3 kJ/mol

B) What is the value of the rate constant at 425 K

For rate constant at 425 K.

Substitute the value of activation energy as 122327.6 J/mol, initial temperature as 400 K, final temperature as 425 K, rate constant at 400 K

1/T1   - 1/ T3   = 1/400   - 1 /425    = 1.47*10^-4

⇒ with T1 = the initial temperature = 400 K

⇒ with k1 = the rate constant at 400 K = 1.15 * 10^-2 /s

⇒ with T3 = the nex temperature = 425 K

⇒ with k3 = the rate constant at 425 K

ln(k3/k1) = Ea/R * ((1/T1)- (1/ T3))

⇒ with k3 = the rate constant at 425 K

⇒ with T3 = 425 K

k3/k1 = e^(Ea/R * ((1/T1)- (1/ T3)))

k3 = k1* e^(Ea/R * ((1/T1)- (1/ T3)))

k3 = 0.0115 * e^(122327.6/8.314 * (1.4710^-4))

k3 = 0.0115* e^2.1643

k3 = 0.1001 /s

Matter is made up of heat energy and ___________energy?
ella [17]
You’re correct, matter is made up of heat energy and chemical energy

all matter contains heat because it is the result of the movement of atoms, molecules, or ions in solids, liquids, and gases.

all matter also contains chemical energy. chemical energy is stored in the bonds of chemical compounds so atoms and molecules are held together by chemical energy

hope this helps :)
