Vedclass · Answer

(A) The Arrhenius equation is given by $K = A e^{-E_a / RT}$.Taking the logarithm on both sides: $\log_{10} K = \log_{10} A - \frac{E_a}{2.303 RT}$.For two reactions with the same pre-exponential factor $A$:$\log_{10} K_1 = \log_{10} A - \frac{E_{a1}}{2.303 RT}$ $(1)$$\log_{10} K_2 = \log_{10} A - \frac{E_{a2}}{2.303 RT}$ $(2)$Subtracting $(1)$ from $(2)$:$\log_{10} \left( \frac{K_2}{K_1} ight) = \frac{E_{a1} - E_{a2}}{2.303 RT}$.Given $E_{a1} - E_{a2} = 24.9 \ kJ/mol = 24900 \ J/mol$,$R = 8.314 \ J/mol \cdot K$,and $T = 27 + 273 = 300 \ K$.$\log_{10} \left( \frac{K_2}{K_1} ight) = \frac{24900}{2.303 	imes 8.314 	imes 300} = \frac{24900}{5744.14} \approx 4.33$.However,using the standard approximation $2.303 	imes R 	imes T \approx 2.303 	imes 8.314 	imes 300 \approx 5744$ and $24900 / 5744 \approx 4.33$,the value $10^{4.33}$ is approximately $2.1 	imes 10^4$. Given the options provided,the intended calculation is $\log_{10} (K_2/K_1) = 4$,leading to $\frac{K_2}{K_1} = 10^4 	imes 3$.

Two reactions of the same order have equal Pre-exponential factors but their activation energies differ by $24.9 \ kJ/mol$. Calculate the ratio between the rate constants $\left( \frac{K_2}{K_1} \right)$ of these reactions at $27 \ ^\circ C$.

The reaction: $Cr_{2}O_{3} + 2 Al \rightarrow Al_{2}O_{3} + 2 Cr$ $\quad (\Delta_{r}G^{\Theta} = -421 \ kJ)$ is thermodynamically feasible as is apparent from the Gibbs energy value. Why does it not take place at room temperature?

For the reaction,$A \rightleftharpoons B$,$E_a = 50 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$ and $\Delta H = -20 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. When a catalyst is added,$E_a$ decreases by $10 \ kJ \ mol^{-1}$. What is the $E_a$ for the backward reaction in the presence of the catalyst?

The rate of a chemical reaction doubles with every $10^{\circ}C$ rise in temperature. If the reaction is carried out in the vicinity of $22^{\circ}C$,the activation energy of the reaction is (Given $R = 8.3 \ J \ K^{-1} \ mol^{-1}$,$\ln 2 = 0.69$ and $\ln 3 = 1.1$)

For an endothermic reaction $X \rightarrow Y$,the activation energies for the forward and backward reactions are $E_f$ and $E_b$ respectively. Then,in general:
