Arrhenius Equation Calculations

Question

The activation energy for the gas phase isomerization of cis-1,2-diphenylethene is 179 kJ.

cis-C₆H₅CH=CHC₆H₅trans-C₆H₅CH=CHC₆H₅

The rate constant at 586 K is 6.55×10^-4 /s. The rate constant will be ______ /s at 625 K.

Answer 1

ln(k1/k2)=Ea/R(1/T1-1/T2)

k1=0.000655

T1=586

k2=?

T2=625

Ea=179000 J

R=8.314 J/mol K

solve for k2
