Question:

Use Equation (3-20) to make a plot of f(E,T) as a function of E for T = 300, 500, 800, and 1200 K.
a. What is the fraction of molecules that have sufficient energy to pass over a energy barrier of 25 kcal at 300, 500, 800, and 1200 K?
b. For a temperature of 300 K, what is the ratio of the faction of energies between 15 and 25 kcal to that for the same energy range (15–25 kcal) at 1200 K?
c. Make a plot of F(E > EA,T) as a function of (EA/RT) for (EA/RT) > 3. What is the fraction of collisions that have energies greater than 25 kcal/mole at 700 K?
d. What fraction of molecules have energies greater than 15 kcal/mol at 500 K?
e. Construct a plot of F(E > EA,T) versus T for EA = 3, 10, 25, and 40 kcal/mole. Describe what you find.
