Question

Calculate the rate constant, 𝑘, for a reaction at 72.0 °C that has an activation energy of 87.8 kJ/mol and a frequency factor of 6.56×1011 s⁻¹.

Answer 1

k = Ae^-E/RT Plug in the values with the appropriate units: E = 87800 J/mole, R = 8.314 J/mole-K, T = 345.15 K and A is the frequency factor.
