Chemical reaction rates are proportional to a rate constant k that changes with temperature according to the Arrhenius equation

Using MatLab a function called reactionRates that inputs the baseline temperature k0 (min^-1), the activation energy Q (cal/mol), and temperature T (K). In the function, use the universal gas constant with consistent units: R = 1.987 cal/ mol K.

For a certain reaction,

Q = 8000 cal/mol k0 = 1200 min^-1

In your main homework script, define the values of k for temperatures from 100 K to 500 K, in 2 K increments. Use your user-defined function to calculate the reaction rate k. In your script, create a two-column matrix called ReactionRates, with temperature T in one column and corresponding values of k in the other.

Find the first temperature value, for which k is greater than 0.1 min^-1.
