Chemical Kinetics - Result Question 71

####70. A first order reaction, AB, requires activation energy of 70kJmol1. When a 20 solution of A was kept at 25C for 20min,25 decomposition took place. What will be the percentage decomposition in the same time in a 30 solution maintained at 40C ? Assume that activation energy remains constant in this range of temperature.

Solution:

  1. lnk(40C)k(25C)=EaR(15298×313)

=70×10008.314×15298×313=1.35 k(40C)k(25C)=3.87  Also k(25C)=120ln10075=120ln43 k(40C)=3.87×k(25C) =3.87×120ln43=55.66×103min1  Now k(40C)×20=ln100100x 55.66×103×20=ln100100xx=67
