Question

Part A

The activation energy of a certain reaction is 36.4 kJ/mol . At 21 ∘C , the rate constant is 0.0160s−1. At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Hints

Part B

Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0160s−1 at an initial temperature of 21 ∘C , what would the rate constant be at a temperature of 130. ∘C for the same reaction described in Part A?

Express your answer with the appropriate units.
