  • The rate constant of a first order reaction increases from  to <img alt="6\times 10^{-2}" src="https://entrancecorner.codecogs.com/gif.latex

The rate constant of a first order reaction increases from 2\times 10^{-2} to 6\times 10^{-2} when the temperature changes from 300 K to 320 K. Calculate the energy of activation. (Given : log 2 = 0·3010, log 3 = 0·4771, log 4 = 0·6021)

Order = 1

\begin{aligned} &E_{a}=? \quad R=8.314 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{K}\\ &T_{1}=300 K \quad k_{1}=2 \times 10^{-2}\\ &T_{2}=320 K \quad k_{2}=6 \times 10^{-2}\\ &\log \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R}\left[\frac{T_{2}-T_{1}}{T_{1} T_{2}}\right]\\ &\log \frac{6 \times 10^{-2}}{2 \times 10^{-2}}=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \times 8.314}\left[\frac{320-300}{320 \times 300}\right] \end{aligned}

\begin{aligned} &\log 3=\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \times 8.314}\left(\frac{20}{320 \times 300}\right)\\ &\frac{0.4771 \times 2.303 \times 8.314 \times 320 \times 300}{20}=E_{a}\\ &E_{a}=43848.486 \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{mol} \end{aligned}
