A → B The rate constants of the above reaction at 200K and 300K are...

A→BA \to B

The rate constants of the above reaction at 200K200K and 300K300K are 0.03min⁡−10 . 03\min^{- 1} and 0.05min⁡−10 . 05\min^{- 1} respectively. The activation energy for the reaction is JJ (Nearest integer)

(Given : In 10=2.310 = 2 . 3

R=8.3JK−1mol−1R = 8 . 3J{K}^{- 1}{mol}^{- 1}

log⁡5=0.70\log 5 = 0 . 70

log⁡3=0.48\log 3 = 0 . 48

log⁡2=0.30\log 2 = 0 . 30

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

If KK is known at two different temperatures the activation energy can be calculated as:

At temperature 1: lnK1=−EaRT1+lnAln{K}_{1} = - \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{{RT}_{1}} + lnA

At temperature 2: lnK2=−EaRT2+lnAln{K}_{2} = - \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{{RT}_{2}} + lnA

We can subtract one of these equations from the other:

lnK1−lnK2=(−EaRT1+lnA)−(−EaRT2+lnA)ln{K}_{1} - ln{K}_{2} = \left(- \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{{RT}_{1}} + lnA\right) - \left(- \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{{RT}_{2}} + lnA\right)

This equation can further simplified to:

lnK1K2=EaR(1T2−1T1)ln\dfrac{{K}_{1}}{{K}_{2}} = \dfrac{{E}_{a}}{R}\left(\dfrac{1}{{T}_{2}} - \dfrac{1}{{T}_{1}}\right)

ln0.050.03=Ea2.305×8.314×[1200−1300]ln\dfrac{0 . 05}{0 . 03} = \dfrac{Ea}{2 . 305 \times 8 . 314} \times \left[\dfrac{1}{200} - \dfrac{1}{300}\right]

⇒0.22=Ea2.305×8.314×[1600]⇒ 0 . 22 = \dfrac{Ea}{2 . 305 \times 8 . 314} \times \left[\dfrac{1}{600}\right]

⇒Ea=2.3×8.3×600×0.22⇒ {E}_{a} = 2 . 3 \times 8 . 3 \times 600 \times 0 . 22

⇒Ea=2519.88J⇒Ea=2520J⇒ {E}_{a} = 2519 . 88J ⇒ {E}_{a} = 2520J
