Answer: Energy of reactants = 30, Energy of products = 10
Exothermic
Activation energy for forward reaction is 10.
Explanation:
Exothermic reactions are defined as the reactions in which energy of the product is lesser than the energy of the reactants. The total energy is released in the form of heat and
for the reaction comes out to be negative.
Energy of reactants = 30
Energy of products = 10
Thus as energy of the product < energy of the reactant, the reaction is exothermic.
Activation energy
is the extra energy that must be supplied to reactants in order to cross the energy barrier and thus convert to products.
for forward reaction is (40-30) = 10.
Answer:
30 kJ
Explanation:
Arrhenius equation is given by:
![k=Aexp(-Ea/RT)\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=k%3DAexp%28-Ea%2FRT%29%5C%5C)
Here, k is rate constant, A is Pre-exponential factor, Ea is activation energy and T is temperature.
taking natural log of both side
ln k = ln A - Ea/RT
In Arrhenius equation, A, R and T are constant.
Therefore,
![ln\frac{k_2}{k_1} =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%5Cfrac%7Bk_2%7D%7Bk_1%7D%20%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa_1-Ea_2%7D%7BRT%7D)
is the lowering in activation energy by enzyme,
R = 8.314 J/mol.K
T = 37°C + 273.15 = 310 K
![\frac{k_2}{k_1} =1\times 10^5](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7Bk_2%7D%7Bk_1%7D%20%3D1%5Ctimes%2010%5E5)
![ln 1\times 10^5 =\frac{Ea_1-Ea_2}{RT}\\{Ea_1-Ea_2} = 11.512 \times 8.314 \times 310\\=29670\ J\\=30\ kJ](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ln%201%5Ctimes%2010%5E5%20%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa_1-Ea_2%7D%7BRT%7D%5C%5C%7BEa_1-Ea_2%7D%20%3D%2011.512%20%5Ctimes%208.314%20%5Ctimes%20310%5C%5C%3D29670%5C%20J%5C%5C%3D30%5C%20kJ)
