Question

A first order gas-phase reaction has an energy of activation of 240 kJ mol⁻¹. If the frequency factor of the reaction is 1.6 x 10¹³ s⁻¹, calculate its rate constant at 600 K.

Answer 1

The formula,

Ki = A * e^-E/RT is used for the analyses,

Here we have the value of the frequency factor and temperature that is 240 kJ/mol at 600K temperature.

Also, the activation number if given to us. Hence, we can calculate Ki that is the rate constant of the reaction.
