4.22 The rate constant for the decomposition of N2O5 at various temperatures
is given below:
Draw a graph between ln k and 1/T and calculate the values of A and
. Predict the rate constant at 30° and 50°C.
From the above data,
T/ | 0 | 20 | 40 | 60 | 80 |
T/K | 273 | 293 | 313 | 333 | 353 |
() | 3.66 | 3.41 | 3.19 | 3.0 | 2.83 |
0.0787 | 1.70 | 25.7 | 178 | 2140 | |
-7.147 | -4.075 | -1.359 | -0.577 | 3.063 |
Slope of line =
According to Arrhenius equations,
Slope =
12.30 8.314
= 102.27
Again,
When T = 30 +273 = 303 K and 1/T =0.0033K
k =
When T = 50 + 273 = 323 K and 1/T = 3.1 K
k = 0.607 per sec
