Question

The rate constant for the first order decomposition of $H_{2} O_{2}$ is given by the following equation:
$log k = 14.2 - \frac{1.0 \times 10^{4}}{T}$
Calculate $E_{a}$ for this reaction and rate constant $k$ if its half-life period be $200$ minutes. (Given: $R = 8.314 J K^{- 1} {m o l}^{- 1}$ )

Open in App

Solution

$l o g k = l o g A - \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}$
$14.2 - \frac{1.0 \times 10^{4}}{T} = l o g A - \frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}$
$1.0 \times 10^{4} = \frac{E_{a}}{19.14}$
$E_{a} = 19.14 \times 10^{4} J m o l^{-} = 191.4 K J m o l^{-}$
