The rate constant of a reaction is 4.7×10−3 s−1 at 25°C, and the activation energy is 33.6 kJ/mol. What is k at 75°C?

Final answer:

To calculate the rate constant (k) at 75°C, we need the frequency factor (A) for the reaction, which is not provided in the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate constant (k) of a reaction can be calculated using the Arrhenius equation:

k = Ae-Ea/RT

where A is the frequency factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

To calculate k at 75°C, we need to find the frequency factor (A) for the reaction. Unfortunately, the question does not provide the value of A, so we cannot calculate the rate constant at 75°C.
