To meet the deman, the owners come to you and ask if there is a quick, safe, and easy way to triple production without increasing production time. The reaction of interest has an activation energy of 85 KJ mol and has a rate constant of 9.33 x 10^-3 Ms a t 80 degrees C. You note that the facility can only handle reactions that do not exceed 100 degrees C. What is your professional analysis of the sitution and response to your superiors? What is the predicted temperature of the reaction when the rate has been tripled? You are looking to impress your bosses. You recall that you've just purchased a small home with a fixed 15 year mortgage at 5.85%. Losing your job means possibly being foreclosed on. Moving back in with your parents just isn't an option. Oh, and your 3 year old daughster Sally just came down wiht pneumonia so you/ve got a mountain of healthcare bills coming your way sincy you can barely afford basic health insurance. On top of all ofthat, your "ex" is still demanding 100% of their monthly alimony.
