Getting rate second rate of reaction from firs
« on: February 13, 2024, 01:54:55 AM »


I attempted the "traditional" way of doing it. But the answer I received was nowhere near the answers given. I tried some YouTuber's (Useless) way of doing it and it was basically the same as the start point. At this point I am starting to unlearn everything I have so far and just confuse myself. Not covered in class, in the textbook or seemingly anywhere online (correctly at least)

Original attempt:
ln[k2/k1] = -Ea/R * (1/T2 - 1/T1)
k2 = k1*e^(-Ea/R * (1/T2 - 1/T1))
k2 = (1.35*10^2)*e^(-91000/8.314 * (1/348.15 - 1/298.15))
k2 = k1*e^(-10945.4) * (-4.82*10^-4))
k2 = k1*e^(5.27)
k2 = k1*194.86
k2 = 26306.6

This answer isn't anywhere on the sheet

Tried an ALTERNATIVE approach from online

ln[k2/k1] = -Ea/R * (1/T2 - 1/T1)/(T1*T2)
k2 = k1*e^(-91000/8.314 * ((1/348.15 - 1/298.15)/(298.15*348.15))
k2 = k1*e^(-10945.4 * ((-4.82*10^-4)/(103800.9225))
k2 = k1*e^(-10945.4 * (-4.64E-9)
k2 = k1*e^5.079E-5
k2 = k1*1.000050794
k2 = 135.0068572


Also none of the answers and hardly any different

Incredibly frustrating as I have almost 100% on this assignment SO FAR and if I do one thing wrong I have to do it ALL OVER again. So guessing isn't an option and it would likely glean nothing

There is an obvious problem with what you copied from the online source - looks like an incorrect attempt at adding two fractions by finding a common denominator:

[tex]\frac 1 {T_2} - \frac 1 {T_1} = \frac {T_1} {T_2\times T_1} - \frac {T_2} {T_1 \times T_2} = \frac {T_1 - T_2} {T_2\times T_1}[/tex]

That being said, I see nothing wrong with your own calculations, 26300 is what I got too.

Same answer here too, 26300.
