Chemical Kinetics Question 56

Question: A hydrogenation reaction is carried out at 500 K. CH2=CH2+H2no,catalyst500kCH3CH3 Activation energy ,Ea,KJ,mol1

CH2=CH2+H2pd,400kCH3CH3 Activation energy = ( Ea20 ) KJ mol1 If rate remains constant, then Ea is

Options:

A) 120kJmol1

B) 100kJmol1

C) 20kJmol1

D) 80kJmol1

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] k=AeEa/RT

k=AeEa/R×500

k=Ae(Ea20)/R×400 Rates are equal, hence
AeEa/R×500=Ae(Ea20)/R×400
Ea500=Ea20400

4Ea=5Ea100
Ea=100KJmol1
