If for a first order reaction, the value of A and E_a are 4 10¹³ ~s ⁻¹ and 98.6 ~kJ ~mol ⁻¹ respectively, then at what temperature will its half life period be 10 minutes?
Options
- A330 K
- B300 K
- C330.95 K
- D311.15 K
Correct answer
D. 311.15 K
Step-by-step solution
According to Arrhenius equation, k= A- E_a 2.303 R T ...(i) For 1^ st order reaction, k= 0.693 t_ 1 / 2 = 0.693 600 s =1.1 10⁻³ ~s ⁻¹ Substitute the value of k in Eq. (i) log (1.1 10⁻³ )= (4 10¹³ )- 98.6 10^3 2.303 8.314 T Solving for T , T=311.15 ~K
