The activation energy for a reaction is changed from 184 kJ/mol to 60.5 kJ/mol at 600. K by the introduction of a catalyst. If t

he uncatalyzed reaction takes about 2537 years to occur, about how long will the catalyzed reaction take? Assume the frequency factor A is constant and assume the initial concentrations are the same.

Answer:

The catalyzed reaction will take 1,41 s

Explanation:

The rate constant for a reaction is:

k = A e^{-\frac{Ea}{RT}}

Assuming frequency factor is the same for both reactions (with and without catalyst) it is possible to obtain:

{\frac{k1}{k2}} = e^{-\frac{Ea_{2}-Ea_{1}}{RT}}

Replacing:

{\frac{k1}{k2}} = e^{-\frac{60,5kJ/mol-184kJ/mol}{8,314472x10^{-3}kJ/molK*600k}}

{\frac{k1}{k2}} = 5,64x10^{10}

That means the reaction occurs 5,64x10¹⁰ faster than the uncatalyzed reaction, that is 2537 years / 5,64x10¹⁰ = 4,50x10⁻⁸ years. In seconds:

4,50x10⁻⁸ years×\frac{365days}{1year}×\frac{24hours}{1day}×\frac{3600s}{1hour} =<em> 1,41 s</em>

I hope it helps!

larisa [96]

The wheels will be completely used up and  it is the limiting reactant in this case.

<h3>What is a limiting reactant?</h3>

The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely used up in a reaction, and thus determines when the reaction stops.

  • 60 breaks will be used for 30 engines and 30 body frame
  • 80 wheels will be used for 20 engines and 20 body frame
  • 64 headlights will be used for 32 engines and 32 body frame

The wheels will be completely used up and  it is the limiting reactant in this case.

A sample of 35.1 g of methane gas has a volume of 5.20 l at a pressure of 2.70 atm. calculate the temperature of the gas.
melisa1 [442]
We can use the ideal gas equation to determine the temperature with the given conditions of mass of the gas, volume, and pressure. The equation is expressed
PV=nRT where n is the number of moles equal to mass / molar mass of gas. Substituting the given conditions with R = 0.0521 L atm/mol K we can find the temperature
