A reaction rate doubles when an investigator increases the temperature by 10 C, from 298 to 308
Question:
A reaction rate doubles when an investigator increases the temperature by 10 °C, from 298 to 308 K . What is the activation energy?
Strategy
Start with Equation 13.11:
To solve this problem, we need to recognize that the ratio k1/k2 is 1:2 because we are told that the rate doubles. Because we are given T1 and T2, and R is a constant that we know, we can solve for the activation energy, Ea.
