What is the activation energy for a reaction if its rate doubles when the temperature is raised from 20°C to 35°C ? (R = 8.314 J mol-1 K-1).

  • 342 kJ mol-1

  • 269 kJ mol-1

  • 34.7 kJ mol-1

  • 15.1 kJ mol-1


C.

34.7 kJ mol-1

Given, initial temperature,      T1 = 20 + 273 = 293 KFinal temperature    T2 = 35 + 273 = 308 K    R= 8.314 J mol -1K-1Since, rate become double on raising temperature,         r2 = 2r1 or r2r1 = 2As rate constant, k  r        k2k1= 2From Arrnhenius equation we know thatlog k1k2=- Ea2.303RT1 -T2T1T2log 2 = -Ea2.303 × 8.314293-308293 × 3080.3010 = -Ea2.303 × 8.314-15293 × 308Ea = 0.3010 × 2.303 × 8.314 × 293 × 30815       = 34673. 48 J mol-1 = 34.7 kJ mol-1
