The reaction
C₂H₂(g) →2C₂H₂(g)
has an activation energy of 262 kJ/mol. At 600.0 K, the rate constant, k, is 6.1 x 10-8 s¹. What is the value of the rate constant
790.0 K?
k=
8-1
Hydrogen peroxide decomposes spontaneously to yield water and oxygen gas according to the reaction equation
2H,O,(aq) ->> 2 H₂O(l) + O₂(g)
The activation energy for this reaction is 75 kJ-mol-¹. In the presence of a metal catalyst, the activation energy is lowered to
49 kJ.mol-¹.
At what temperature would the non-catalyzed reaction need to be run to have a rate equal to that of the metal-catalyzed reaction
at 25 °C?
T=
K
