For the reaction:
[Cr(H2O)6]3++[SCN⊖]→[Cr9H2O)5NCS]2+H2O
The rate law is : r=k[Cr(H2O)3+6[SCN⊖].
The value of k is 2.0×10−6Lmol−1s−1 at 140 C and 2.2×10−5Lmol−1s−1 , at 300 C
What is the value of Ea?
Using Arrhenius equation
T1 =273+14=287K,
T2 = 273+30=303K
logk2k1=Ea2.303R[T2−T1T1×T2]
log2.2×10−52.0×10−6=Ea2.303×2×10−3(16287×303)
Ea=log(11)×2.303×2×10−3×28730316
=1.0414×2.303×2×287×30316000
