Document Summary
Chm 139 lecture 17 effect of temperature and catalysts. Temperature dependence of rate constant, k, due (mostly) to f. Recall: 25 c 35 c = 3 rate. Net: no(g) + o3(g) no2(g) + o2(g) ea = 63 kj/mol f (25 c) = e-ea/rt. 1. 1 1011 f (35 c) f (25 c) A = 8. 7 1012 s-1 f(25 c) = e-e a. = 9. 1 10-12 k = (8. 7 1012 s-1) (9. 1 10-12) k = 7. 9 101 s-1. A and ea can be measured experimentally. With just two different temperatures: ln k = ln a - Measure k1 at temperature t1: measure k2 at temperature t2: ln k1 = ln a - ln k2 = ln a - Catalyst a substance which increases the rate of a reaction, and it is either not consumed or it is regenerated during course of the reaction. New reaction mechanism lowers ea and/or changes orientation factor. Examples: ozone (o3) depletion net: o3 + o 2 o2.
