उत्तर
Given: T1/2 = 30 min, T1 = 300 K
T1/2 = 10 min, T2 = 320 K
Formula: `log k_2/k_1 = E_a/(2.303 R) [1/T_1 - 1/T_2]`
k = `0.693/(t_(1//2))`
k1 at 300 K = `0.693/30` min−1
k2 at 320 K = `0.693/10` min−1
`log (k_2/k_1) = E_a/(2.303 R) [1/T_1 - 1/T_2]`
`log ((0.693/10)/(0.693/30)) = E_a/(2.303 R) [1/300 - 1/320]`
log (3) = `E_a/(2.303 R) [20/(300 xx 320)]`
0.4771 = `E_a/(2.303 xx 8.314) [20/(96000)]`
0.4771 = `E_a/(2.303 xx 8.314) [20/(96000)]`
Ea = `(0.4771 xx 2.303 xx 8.314 xx 96000)/20`
= `876969.73/20`
= 43848.48 J/mol
Ea = 43.8 kJ mol−1
Hence, the activation energy of the reaction is 43.8 kJ−1.
