Solution
Given: k1 = 4.5 × 103 s−1
T1 = 273 + 10 = 283 K
k2 = 1.5 × 104 s−1
Ea = 60 kJ mol−1 = 6.0 × 104 J mol−1
T2 = ?
From Arrhenius equation, we obtain
`log k_2/k_1 = E_a/(2.303 R)((T_2 - T_1)/(T_1T_2))`
log `(1.5 xx 10^4)/(4.5 xx 10^3) = (60000)/(2.303 xx 8.314) ((T_2 - 283) /(283 xx T_2))`
or, log 3.333 = 3133.63`(T_2 - 283)/(283 xx T_2)`
or, `0.5228/3133.63 = (T_2 - 283)/(283 xx T_2)`
or, 0.0472T2 = T2 − 283
or, T2 = `283/0.9528`
= 297 K
= 297 − 273
= 24°C
Hence, k would be 1.5 × 104 s−1 at 24°C.
