Question

The Arrhenius Equation is typically written as k=Ae?Ea/RTHowever, the following more practical form of this equation alsoexists: lnk2k1=EaR(1T1?1T2) where k1 and k2 are the rate constantsfor a single reaction at two different absolute temperatures (T1and T2).

Part A

The activation energy of a certain reaction is 35.5kJ/mol . At20 ?C, the rate constant is 0.0130 s?1. At what temperature wouldthis reaction go twice as fast?

Express your answer numerically in degrees Celsius

Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0130 s?1 at an initialtemperature of 20 ?C, what would the rate constant be ata temperature of 100 ?C?

Express your answer numerically in inverse seconds.
