Consider a complex reaction taking place in three steps with rate constants and respectively. The overall rate constant is given by the expression . If the activation energies of the three steps are 60,30 and respectively, then the overall energy of activation in is . (Nearest integer)
Correct answer
0
Step-by-step solution
and are given as rate constants of three steps of a complex reaction. Rate constant (k) of the overall reaction is given as
Activation energies of the three steps are given as
From Arrhenius equation, we know that
If is the activation energy of the overall reaction, then
