4.29 The time required for 10% completion of a first order reaction at 298K is equal to that required for its 25% completion at 308K. If the value of A is . Calculate k at 318K and Ea.
We know that,
for a first order reaction-
Case 1
At temp. = 298 K
= 0.1054/k
Case 2
At temp = 308 K
= 2.2877/k'
As per the question
K'/K = 2.7296
From Arrhenius equation,
= 76640.096 J /mol
=76.64 KJ/mol
k at 318 K
we have , T =318K
A=
Now
After putting the calue of given variable, we get
on takingantilog we get,
k = antilog(-1.9855)
= 1.034
