Question
How do I solve this equation without making the graph and using the slope? My teacher said that we wouldn't need to make the graph, but I'm not sure how to do the equation without making the graph.
Expert Solution
Step 1
We have the data set of temperature(T) and rate constant(k) in the format of table.
We need to calculate the activation energy(Ea) using this data set.
Clausius Calpeyron equation is expressed as:
where Ea is the activation energy
R is the gas constant
