The isomerization of a molecule in the gas phase occurs with a rate constant of 0.0006 at 410 degrees C. Calculate the value of the standard molar Gibbs energy of activation (in J. mol-1) for the reaction.
I have no idea where to start for this question! We're given the formulas: K = [AB]/[A][ B], K= e^(-deltaG/RT) x [A][ B] and rate = k(subB)T/h x e^(-deltaG/RT) x [A][ B].
Any ideas or pointers? I did it and got 39,351 and the answer was 214,108. I messed up and used capital K as the rate constant, I think. It should be k(subB) right? I get one more attempt at it (it's an online assessment), so if you help me out can you use the numbers given below please? Thanks for your guys' help.
