Temperature dependence
1. If the rate of reaction is 3.95 s-1 at 25 oC and 0.036 s-1 at OoC; what is the energy of activation of the reaction?
Determine Ea.
2. Calculate the pre-exponential A value of the reaction in #1.
3. The pyrolysis of ethyl Bromide to give ethylene and HBr follows first order kinetics. The following data are obtained.
| T, K | 800 | 833 | 877 | 900 |
| k, s-1 | .0361 | .141 | .662 | 1.41 |
Graphically using MathCad, calculate Ea and A.
