The rate of a reaction becomes four times when the temperature changes from 293 K to 313 K. Calculate the energy of activation (Ea) of the reaction assuming that it does not change with temperature.

[R = 8·314 J K-1 mol-1, log 4 = 0·6021]

Solution

Given: T1 = 293 k

 T2 = 313 k

 R = 8.314 J k-1mol-1

 k2 = 4k1

 Ea =?

The formula used is;
