Hydrogen iodide, HI, decomposes in the gas phase to produce hydrogen, H2, and iodine, I2. The value of the rate constant, k, fur the reaction was measured at several different temperatures and the data are shown here: Temperature (K) k (M -1 5-1) 555 6.23107 575 2.42106 645 1.44104 700 2.01103 What is the value of the activation energy (in kJ/mol) for this reaction?
(Section 11-5) A rule of thumb is that for a typical reaction, if concentrations are unchanged, a 10-K rise in temperature increases the reaction rate by two to four times. Use an average increase of three times to answer the questions below. (a) What is the approximate activation energy of a typical chemical reaction at 298 K? (b) If a catalyst increases a chemical reactions rate by providing a mechanism that has a lower activation energy, then what change do you expect a 10-K increase in temperature to make in the rate of a reaction whose uncatalyzed activation energy of 75 kJ/mol has been lowered to one half this value (at 298 K) by addition of a catalyst?
For the reaction 2N2O(g)2N2(g)+O2(g) the rate constant is 0.066 L/mol min at 565C and 22.8 L/mol min at 728C. (a) What is the activation energy of the reaction? (b) What is k at 485C? (c) At what temperature is k, the rate constant, equal to 11.6 L/mol min?
A popular chemical demonstration is the magic genie procedure, in which hydrogen peroxide decomposes to water and oxygen gas with the aid of a catalyst. The activation energy of this (uncatalyzed) reaction is 70.0 kJ/mol. When the catalyst is added, the activation energy (at 20.C) is 42.0 kJ/mol. Theoretically, to what temperature (C) would one have to heat the hydrogen peroxide solution so that the rate of the uncatalyzed reaction is equal to the rate of the catalyzed reaction at 20.C? Assume the frequency factor A is constant, and assume the initial concentrations are the same.
Bacteria cause milk to go sour by generating lactic acid. Devise an experiment that could measure the activation energy for the production of lactic acid by bacteria in milk. Describe how your experiment will provide the information you need to determine this value. What assumptions must be made about this reaction?
Experiments have shown that the average frequency of chirping by a snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni) depends on temperature as shown in the table. Chirping Rate (per min) Temperature (C) 178 25.0 126 20.3 100. 17.3 What is the apparent activation energy of the process that controls the chirping? What is the rate of chirping expected at a temperature of 7.5C?
