The rate constant (k) for a reaction was measured as a function of temperature. A plot of ln k versus 1>T (in K) is linear and has a slope of -1.01 * 104 K. Calculate the activation energy for the reaction.

8.397J/mol is the activation energy for the reaction

Explanation:

The graphical form of Arrhenius equation is:

ln k = -Ea/R*(1/T)+lnA

Where k is activation energy

Ea is activation energy

R is gas constant (8.314J/molK)

T is absolute temperature

And A is the pre-exponential factor.

The slope of the plot is -Ea/R:

-Ea/R = -1.01x10⁴K

-Ea/8.314J/molK = -1.01x10⁴K

Ea = -1.01x10⁴K*8.314J/molK

Ea = 8.397J/mol is the activation energy for the reaction

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
