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!

Consider the reaction given below.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

  • <u>K =  0.167 s⁻¹</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Rate law, at a given temperature:</u>

  • Since all the data are obtained at the same temperature, the equilibrium constant is the same.

  • Since only reactants A and B participate in the reaction, you assume that the form of the rate law is:

        r = K [A]ᵃ [B]ᵇ

<u>2) Use the data from the table</u>

  • Since the first and second set of data have the same concentration of the reactant A, you can use them to find the exponent b:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₂ = (1.50)ᵃ (2.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

         Divide r₂ by r₁:     [ 2.50 / 1.50] ᵇ = 1 ⇒ b = 0

  • Use the first and second set of data to find the exponent a:

        r₁ = (1.50)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        r₃ = (3.00)ᵃ (1.50)ᵇ = 5.00 × 10⁻¹ M/s

        Divide r₃ by r₂: [3.00 / 1.50]ᵃ = [5.00 / 2.50]

                                  2ᵃ = 2 ⇒ a = 1

         

<u>3) Write the rate law</u>

  • r = K [A]¹ [B]⁰ = K[A]

This means, that the rate is independent of reactant B and is of first order respect reactant A.

<u>4) Use any set of data to find K</u>

With the first set of data

  • r = K (1.50 M) = 2.50 × 10⁻¹ M/s ⇒ K = 0.250 M/s / 1.50 M = 0.167 s⁻¹

Result: the rate constant is K =  0.167 s⁻¹

Assume that your electrical power company gets its energy from a hydroelectric dam. Outline all of the energy changes that occur
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

See explanation.

Explanation:

This isn't chemistry. Its physics. Kinetic energy (water) to electric energy (dam) as the hydroelectric dam works. Then, as the current travels from the plant to your crib, electric energy to heat energy (wire resistance). Then when you are using the dryer electric energy to heat energy (hot air) and sound energy (air particles vibrate due to the heat energy).
