A certain reaction with an activation energy of 155 kJ/mol was run at 495 K and again at 515 K . What is the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature

4.32 is the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature

Explanation:

Using the sum of Arrhenius equation you can obtain:

ln (f₂/f₁) = Eₐ / R ₓ (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

Where f represents the rate constant of the reaction at T₁ and T₂ temperatures. Eₐ is the energy activation (155kJ / mol = 155000J/mol) and R is gas constant (8.314J/molK)

Replacing:

ln (f₂/f₁) = 155000J/mol / 8.314J/molK ₓ (1/495K - 1/515)

Where 2 represents the state with the higher temperature and 1 the lower temperature.

ln (f₂/f₁) = 155000J/mol / 8.314J/molK ₓ (1/495K - 1/515)

ln (f₂/f₁) = 1.4626

f₂/f₁ = 4.32

chemical energy is stored in the chemical bonds of atoms and molecules. it can only be seen when it is released in a chemical reaction. when chemical energy is released, the substance from which the energy came is often changed into an entirely different substance.

this chemical reaction releases energy in the form of light and heat. chemical energy is the potential energy stored in the arrangement of atoms within molecules. breaking chemical bonds requires energy, while forming new chemical bonds releases energy.

the atp molecule can store energy in the form of a high energy phosphate bond joining the terminal phosphate group to the rest of the molecule. in this form,energy can be stored at one location, then moved from one part of the cell to another, where it can be released to drive other biochemical reactions.
