Q.

AB
The rate constants of the above reaction at 200 K and 300 K are 0.03 min-1 and 0.05 min-1 respectively. The activation energy for the reaction is __________ J (Nearest Integer).

(Given: ln 10 = 2.3

R = 8.3 J K-1mol-1

log 5 = 0.70

log 3 = 0.48

log 2 = 0.30)                                  [2023]


Ans.

(2520)

log(K2K1)=Ea2.303×R[1T1-1T2]

log(0.050.03)=Ea2.303×8.3[1200-1300]

0.22=Ea2.303×8.3[100300×200]

Ea=0.22×2.303×8.3×300×2 J

Ea=2519.88 J

Ea=2520 J
