  The reaction A2 + B2 -----> 2AB was studied at 500oC and 550 oC. The rate constants were determined to be 8.23 x 10-3 M-1s-1 at 500 oC and 3.81 x 10-2 M-1s-1 at 550 oC. Find the activation energy for this reaction and find the temperature where the rate constant will be 1.64 x 10-2 M-1s-1.

 

Answer

  1. The activation energy is 1.62 x 105

  2. The temperature where the rate constant is 10-2 M-1s-1 is 795K or 522 oC.
