The activation energy Ea can be related to rate constant (k) at temperature (T) through the equation:

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

where :

k1 is the rate constant at temperature T1

k2 is the rate constant at temperature T2

R = gas constant = 8.314 J/K-mol

Given data:

k1 = 0.543 s-1; T1 = 25 C = 25+273 = 298 K

k2 = 6.47 s-1; T = 47 C = 47+273 = 320 K

ln(6.47/0.543) = Ea/8.314 [1/298 - 1/320]

2.478 = 2.774 *10^-5 Ea

Ea = 0.8934*10^5 J = 89.3 kJ

What strategies did you use when you played the balancing chemical equations game? Which atoms were the easiest to start examini

Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

Latest take an example to understand how balancing of chemical reaction is done that is assuming the reaction between iron as well as oxygen which reacts to form rust.

Explanation:

For this we would simply right the reactant and product that is expected. Then we would see the number of molecules of each element present on either side.

If in the reaction the element’s molecules are the same on both sides then the reaction would be correct and if not then we have to apply trial and error method to balance the equation such that the number of molecules of each element is equal on both sides of the reaction.
