(a) Consider the reaction R\rightarrow P for which the change in concentration of R with time is shown by the following graph :

        

(i) Predict the order of reaction.

(ii) What does the slope of the curve indicate ?

(b) The rate of reaction quadruples when temperature changes from 293\; K to 313\; K. Calculate E_{a} assuming that it does not change with time. \left [ R=8.314\; JK^{-1\; mol^{-1}} \right ]

(a) Order =zero (0)

       slope = -K

        \left [ R \right ]=-Kt+\left [ R \right ]

(b) E_{a }=?

        T_{1}=293\; K\; \; \; \; \; T_{2}=313\; K

 log\frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}}=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303R}\left [ \frac{T_{2}-T_{1}}{T_{1}T_{2}} \right ]

        K_{2}=4K_{1}

   log \frac{4K_{1}}{K_{1}}=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303\times 8.314}\left [ \frac{313-293}{(313)(293)} \right ]

log \; 4=\frac{20\times E_{a}}{2.303\times 8.314\times 313\times 293}

E_{a}=\frac{0.6021\times 2.303\times 8.314\times 313\times 293}{20}

E_{a}=52863.33\; J/mol
