Question

The time required for 10% completion of a first order reaction at 298 K is equal to that required for its 25% completion at 308 K. If the pre-exponential factor for the reaction is 3.56×109s1, If the rate constant at 318 K is x×103sec1 . 100x is

Solution

Given,
For 10% completion of the reaction, at T1=298K

t=2.303k298log1010090

For 25% completion of the reaction, at T2=308K

t=2.303k308log1010075

k308k298=2.73

Also, 2.303log10 k298k308= EaR×(T2T1)T1×T2

E=76.6227kJmol1

We know from Arhenius equation,

K=AeEa/RT

Take ln both side we get,

lnK=lnAEA/RT
lnK=ln(3.56×109)(76.6×103)/(8.314×318)=7

logK318=7/2.303=3.0395
K318=1.01×103 sec1

x=1.01100x=101
