Question

The decomposition of formic acid on gold surface follows first order kinetics. If the rate constant at $300 K$ is $1.0 \times 10^{- 3} s^{- 1}$ and the activation energy $E_{a} = 11.488 {kJ mol}^{- 1}$ , the rate constant at $200 K$ is $\times 10^{- 5} s^{- 1}$ .(Round off to the nearest Integer).

Solution

By using Arrhenius equation,
$log \frac{K_{2}}{K_{1}} = \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R} [\frac{1}{T_{1}} - \frac{1}{T_{2}}] Where, K_{2} is rate constant at T_{2} (300 K) K_{1} is rate constant at T_{1} (200 K) {R is universal gas constant = 8.314 J K}^{- 1} {mol}^{- 1} Substituting the values, we get log \frac{1.0 \times 10^{- 3} s^{- 1}}{K_{1}} = \frac{11.488 \times 1000}{2.303 \times 8.314} [\frac{1}{200} - \frac{1}{300}] log \frac{10^{- 3}}{K_{1}} = 600 \times \frac{3 - 2}{600} log \frac{10^{- 3}}{K_{1}} = 1 \Rightarrow 10 = \frac{10^{- 3}}{K_{1}} \Rightarrow K_{1} = 10^{- 4} s^{- 1} S o, x \times 10^{- 5} = 10^{- 4} \Rightarrow x = 10$
