I don't know how to find the difference in activation energy between no catalyst and catalyst added, and the steps to calculate it from Arrhenius equation.
k = Ae^-E_a/RT rearranged to ln k = -E
a/RT+ lnA (like y = mx + b)
I need to find E
a-E
ac (NH
2)
2CO
2(aq) + H
2O(l)
CO
2(g) + 2NH
3(g)
No catalyst: 4.15 * 10
-5 (s
-1) @ 373K ,first order
With catalyst: 3.4 * 10
4 (s
-1) @ 294K , first order
Assume the collision factor is the same for both. I started by converted it to table of ln k vs 1/T
1/T ln k.00268 -10.1 (No catalyst) | .00340 10.4 (with catalyst) |
so i tried to plug in individually to find the Ea for the slope, referring to y=mx+b, m = -Ea/R Ea= -m (R) Ea = -(-10.1/.00268) (.008314 kJ/mol*K) = 2.25 *10^-4 kJ/ mol Eac = -(10.4/.00340) (.008314 kJ/mol*K) = ..
and then I m bananaz , answer is 64.0 kJ... how do I calculate it?
