The standard free energy of activation of one reaction A is 95.00 kJ mol–1 (22.71 kcal mol–1). The standard free energy of activ

ation of another reaction B is 74.20 kJ mol–1 (17.73 kcal mol–1). Assume a temperature of 298 K and 1 M concentration.

Answer:

The answer to the questions are as follows

Reaction B is 4426.28 times faster than reaction A

(b) Reaction B is faster.

Explanation:

To solve the question we are meant to compare both reactions to see which one is faster

The values of the given activation energies are as follows

For A

Ea = 95.00 kJ mol–1 (22.71 kcal mol–1) and

for  B

Ea = 74.20 kJ mol–1 (17.73 kcal mol–1)

T is the same for both reactions and is equal to 298 k

Concentration of both reaction = 1M

The Arrhenius Law is given by

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

Where

k = rate constant

Ea = activation energy

R = universal gas constant

T = temperature  (Kelvin )

A = Arrhenius factor

Therefore

For reaction A, the rate constant k₁ is given by k₁ = Ae^{\frac{-95000}{(8.314)(298)} }

And for B the rate constant k₂ is given by k₂ = Ae^{\frac{-74200 }{(8.314)(298)} }

k₁ = A×2.225×10⁻¹⁷

k₂ = A×9.850×10⁻¹⁴

As seen from the above Reaction B is faster than reaction A by (A×9.850×10⁻¹⁴)/(A×2.225×10⁻¹⁷) or 4426.28 times

How many moles of O2 are needed to react completely with 35.0 mol C2h2
Wittaler [7]

Hey There!:


2 C2H2 + 5 O2 = 4 CO2 + 2 H2O


2 moles C2H2 ----------- 5 moles O2

35.0 moles C2H2 ------- moles O2


moles O2 = 35.0 * 5 / 2


moles O2 = 87.5 moles


hope this helps!
