Document Summary

Increasing the temperature of a system increases the average kinetic energy of its constituent particles. As the average kinetic energy increases, the particles move faster, so they collide more frequently per unit time and possess greater energy when they collide, causing increases in the rate of the reaction. Rate of all reactions increases with increasing temperature and decreases with decreasing temperature. (2) the activation energy (ea ), and. If the arrhenius equation is written for two temperatures, t2 and t1 with t2 >t1 . Consider the rate of a reaction for which ea=50 kj/mol, at 20oc (293 k) and at. For reactions that have an ea 50 kj/mol, the rate approximately doubles for a 100c rise in temperature, near room temperature. The rate-law expression is known to be r=k[icl][h2 ]. The nature of the solvent can affect the reaction rates of solute particles. Solvent viscosity is also important in determining reaction rates.

In the collision model it is assumed that reactions occur as a result of collisions between molecules with the correct kinetic energy and orientation. The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur when molecules collide is called the activation energy, E_a. The number of collisions that are favorably oriented for a reaction is described by the frequency factor, A. The Arrhenius equation relates both of these factors to the rate constant, k. k = A middot e^-E_a/(R middot T) where R = 8.314 J/(mol middot K) and T is the temperature in kelvins. Based on the activation energies and frequency factors, rank the following reactions from fastest to slowest reaction rate, assuming they are all at the same temperature. Rank from fastest to slowest reaction rate. To rank items as equivalent, overlap them. Fraction of molecules The exponential term in the Arrhenius equation is equal to the fraction of molecules, f, with kinetic energy greater than or equal to the activation energy: f = e^-E_a/(R middot T) Most scientific calculators have an e^x function as the second function of the LN button. Part B A certain reaction with an activation energy of 145 kJ/mol was run at 495 K and again at 515 K. What is the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature? Express your answer numerically using one significant figure.
