Question

In the Arrhenius equation for a certain reaction, the values of A and Ea (energy of activation) are 4×1013s1 and 98.6 kJmol1, respectively. If the reaction is 1st order, at X (kelvin) temperature and the half-life is 696 seconds, then the value of X is:
(only nearest integer value)

Solution

k=AeEaRT=4×1013×e98.6×1038.314T
For Ist order reaction, k=0.693t12=0.693696=103sec1
log103=log(4×1013)98.6×1032.303×8.314×T
3=13.6029860019.15T
T=9860016.602×19.15=310.1K
So, the value of X is 310.
