Answer : The activation energy of the reaction is, 
Solution :
The relation between the rate constant the activation energy is,
![\log \frac{K_2}{K_1}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times R}\times [\frac{1}{T_1}-\frac{1}{T_2}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7BK_2%7D%7BK_1%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20R%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_1%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7BT_2%7D%5D)
where,
= initial rate constant = 
= final rate constant = 
= initial temperature = 
= final temperature = 
R = gas constant = 8.314 kJ/moleK
Ea = activation energy
Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the activation energy.
![\log \frac{8.75\times 10^{-3}L/mole\text{ s}}{4.55\times 10^{-5}L/mole\text{ s}}=\frac{Ea}{2.303\times (8.314kJ/moleK)}\times [\frac{1}{468K}-\frac{1}{531K}]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Clog%20%5Cfrac%7B8.75%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-3%7DL%2Fmole%5Ctext%7B%20s%7D%7D%7B4.55%5Ctimes%2010%5E%7B-5%7DL%2Fmole%5Ctext%7B%20s%7D%7D%3D%5Cfrac%7BEa%7D%7B2.303%5Ctimes%20%288.314kJ%2FmoleK%29%7D%5Ctimes%20%5B%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B468K%7D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B531K%7D%5D)
Therefore, the activation energy of the reaction is,
Explanation:
P1V1 = nRT1
P2V2 = nRT2
Divide one by the other:
P1V1/P2V2 = nRT1/nRT2
From which:
P1V1/P2V2 = T1/T2
(Or P1V1 = P2V2 under isothermal conditions)
Inverting and isolating T2 (final temp)
(P2V2/P1V1)T1 = T2 (Temp in K).
Now P1/P2 = 1
V1/V2 = 1/2
T1 = 273 K, the initial temp.
Therefore, inserting these values into above:
2 x 273 K = T2 = 546 K, or 273 C.
Thus, increasing the temperature to 273 C from 0C doubles its volume, assuming ideal gas behaviour. This result could have been inferred from the fact that the the volume vs temperature line above the boiling temperature of the gas would theoretically have passed through the origin (0 K) which means that a doubling of temperature at any temperature above the bp of the gas, doubles the volume.
From the ideal gas equation:
V = nRT/P or at constant pressure:
V = kT where the constant k = nR/P. Therefore, theoretically, at 0 K the volume is zero. Of course, in practice that would not happen since a very small percentage of the volume would be taken up by the solidified gas.
Answer:
A metallic bond.
Explanation:
Potassium is a metal (alkali metal), hence its bonds are metallic bonds.
Hope this helped!
