- A catalyst reduces the activation energy of a reaction from 215 to 206 kJ. By what factor would you expect the reaction-rate constant to increase at 25 C? Assume that the pre-exponential term (A) is the same for both reactions. (Hint: Use the formula ln k = ln A Ea/RT.)arrow_forwardThe decomposition of NO2(g) occurs by the following bimolecular elementary reaction: 2NO2(g)2NO(g)+O2(g) The rate constant at 273 K is 2.3 1012 L/mol s, and the activation energy is 111 kJ/mol. How long will it take for the concentration of NO2(g) to decrease from an initial partial pressure of 2.5 atm to 1.5 atm at 500. K? Assume ideal gas behavior.arrow_forwardThe following rate constants were obtained in an experiment in which the decomposition of gaseous N2O; was studied as a function of temperature.
