Question

Calculate the rate constant, k k , for a reaction at 60.0 60.0 °C that has an activation energy of 80.1 80.1 kJ/mol and a frequency factor of 7.58 × 10 11 7.58×1011 s−1.

Answer 1

0.24 s-1

Step-by-step explanation:

We first list the parameters as shown in the image attached. The variables are now properly substituted. This equation is used to calculate the rate constant and clearly show us the dependence of the rate constant on temperature. From this equation, we can clearly and easily see that the rate constant increases exponentially with increase in temperature of the reaction system.
