Question

The time required for 10% completion of a first order reaction at 298K is equal to that required for its 25% completion at 308K. If the value of A is 4×1010s1. Calculate k at 318K and Ea.

Solution


For 10% completion of the reaction, we have
k(298)=2.303tlog10090

For 25% completion of the reaction, we have
k(308)=2.303tlog10075

k(308)k(298)=2.303tlog100752.303tlog10090=2.73

But, logk(308)k(298)=Ea2.303R[TTTT]

log2.73=Ea2.303×8.314×308298308×298

Ea=76623J/mol=76.623kJ/mol

But, logk=logAEa2.303RT

logk(318K)=log4×1010766232.303×8.314×318=1.9823

k(318)=1.042×102/s
