Hi guys I had a couple of questions which I really need the answer for my final exam and it would be a great help if I could get the answers since I tried and could not solve them.
Here is the first one.
The rate of the decomposition of ethanol was measured over the
temperature range 700-1000 K, and the rate constants are reported below. Find the
activation energy Ea and the pre-exponential factor A. Be careful with units!
T (K) 700 760 790 840 910 1000
k2 (dm3 mol-1 s-1) 0.011 0.105 0.343 2.17 20.0 145
Using the following relations find the entropy of activation, ΔS⊕ at 790 K(Use A from the last part is known)
pΘ = 100kPa.
Ea = ΔH⊕ + 2RT
k2=k(kT/h)(RT/pΘ)exp(ΔG/RT)
