[Solved] The rate constant for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is 2.418 x 10^-5 s^-1 at 546 K. If the energy of activation is 179.9 kJ/mol
The rate constant for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is 2.418 x 10-5 s-1 at 546 K. If the energy of activation is 179.9 kJ/mol, what will be the value of pre-exponential factor.
k= 2.418 × 10-5 s-1
T = 546 K
Ea = 179.9 kJ mol-1 = 179.9 × 103 J mol-1
According to the Arrhenius equation,
k = Ae-Ea/RT
⇒ In k = In A - \(\frac{E_a}{RT}\)
⇒ In k = log A - \(\frac{E_a}{2.303RT}\)
⇒ log A = log k + \(\frac{E_a}{RT}\)
= log (2.418 x 10-5 s-1) + \(\frac{179.9 \times 10^3\ J \ mol^{-1}}{2.303 \times 8.314 \ Jk^{-1} mol^{-1} \times 546 K}\)
= (0.3835 - 5) + 17.2082
= 12.5917
Therefore, A = antilog (12.5917)
= 3.9 × 1012 s-1 (approximately)
