The reaction between ethyl iodide and hydroxide ion in ethanol (C2H5OH) solution, C2H5I(alc) + OH (alc) --

Question:

The reaction between ethyl iodide and hydroxide ion in ethanol (C2H5OH) solution, C2H5I(alc) + OHˉ (alc) --→ C2H5OH(I) + Iˉ(alc), has an activation energy of and a frequency factor of 2.10 × 1011 M-1 s-1.
(a) Predict the rate constant for the reaction at 35 oC.
(b) A solution of KOH in ethanol is made up by dissolving 0.335g KOH in ethanol to form 250.0 mL of solution. Similarly, 1.453 g of C2H5I is dissolved in ethanol to form 250.0 mL of solution. Equal volumes of the two solutions are mixed. Assuming the reaction is first order in each reactant, what is the initial rate at 35 oC?
(c) Which reagent in the reaction is limiting, assuming the reaction proceeds to completion?
(d) Assuming the frequency factor and activation energy do not change as a function of temperature, calculate the rate constant for the reaction at 50 oC?
