Answer:

The catalyzed reaction will take 2.85 seconds to occur.

Explanation:

The activation energy of a reaction is given by:                                                        

k = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a}}{RT}}

For the reaction without catalyst we have:

k_{1} = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{1}}}{RT}}   (1)

And for the reaction with the catalyst:

k_{2} = Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{2}}}{RT}}   (2)

Assuming that frequency factor (A) and the temperature (T) are constant, by dividing equation (1) with equation (2) we have:                      

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{1}}}{RT}}}{Ae^{-\frac{E_{a_{2}}}{RT}}}

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = e^{\frac{E_{a_{2}} - E_{a_{1}}}{RT}    

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = e^{\frac{59.0 \cdot 10^{3}J/mol - 184 \cdot 10^{3} J/mol}{8.314 J/Kmol*600 K} = 1.31 \cdot 10^{-11}    

Since the reaction rate is related to the time as follow:

k = \frac{\Delta [R]}{t}

And assuming that the initial concentrations ([R]) are the same, we have:

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{\Delta [R]/t_{1}}{\Delta [R]/t_{2}}

\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = \frac{t_{2}}{t_{1}}

t_{2} = t_{1}\frac{k_{1}}{k_{2}} = 6900 y*1.31 \cdot 10^{-11} = 9.04 \cdot 10^{-8} y*\frac{365 d}{1 y}*\frac{24 h}{1 d}*\frac{3600 s}{1 h} = 2.85 s

Therefore, the catalyzed reaction will take 2.85 seconds to occur.

I hope it helps you!

Iron is extracted from its ore (hematite) in the blast furnace. Which gas is produced as a waste product?
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

CO2

Explanation:

CO2 or carbon dioxide is produced when iron is extracted from its ore. Carbon monoxide Co is used as reducing agent in iron extraction. In this reaction iron ore is reduced to iron and CO is oxidized to CO2 or carbon dioxide which is released in the process. There extraction of iron is redox reaction.
