A decomposes thermally, it is observed that k varies as : (No calculations are needed for this part)
k (s-1) T (K)
5.10 x 10-3 302
2.60 x 10-2 451
3.10 x 10-2| 479
4.10 x 10-2 528
*1. Explain why k increases when we increase the temperature.
*m. If, for the same reaction, at a particular temperature, we were to add a catalyst, would Ea, A, k and v be larger,
smaller, equal? Explain.
