  • Can someone help me with this, What is the activation energy for a reaction if its rate doubles when the temperature is raised from 20°C to 35°C?(R = 8.314 Jmol-1K-1)

What is the activation energy for a reaction if its rate doubles when the temperature is raised from 20°C to 35°C ?

(R = 8.314 Jmol-1K-1)

  • Option 1)

    15.1 kJ mol-1

  • Option 2)

    342 kJ mol-1

  • Option 3)

    269 kJ mol-1

  • Option 4)

    34.7 kJ mol-1

As learnt in @9518

Since \log \frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} = \frac{Ea}{2.303\:R}\left ( \frac{1}{T_{1}} - \frac{1}{T_{2}} \right )

K2  = 2K1 , T1 = 273 + 20 K = 293 K

T2 = 273 + 35 K = 308 K

R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1

\therefore \log 2 = \frac{Ea}{2.303 \times 8.314}\left ( \frac{1}{293} - \frac{1}{308}\right )

\Rightarrow Ea = 34.7 \:KJ\:mol^{-1}
