Variation of the Arrhenius Equation is used to find the value of k at a different temperature:
ln(k2/k1) = -Ea/R (1/T2 - 1/T1)
k2 = ?
k1 = 1.6x10-8
Ea = 262 kJ/mol
R = 8,314 J/mol-K = 0.008314 kJ/mol-K (use this value)
T1 = 600 K
T2 = 790 K
ln(k2/k1) = -262/0.008314 (1/790 - 1/600)
ln(k2/k1) = 12.6
k2/k1 = 296,559
k2/1.6x10-8 = 2.97x105
k2 = 4.75x10-3 s-1
