Question: kinetics and Reactor ONLY NEED PROBLEM 2.1 and 2.2, no need to solve problem 1 but its up to you if you want! Solve for
Rate Constant. Temperature Dependence & Activation Energy Problem 1: Styrene was polymerized in benzene, and the following kinetic data were obtained: k (liter/mol of styrene) 2 min (C) 0.929 30.3 0.563 25.0 0.387 20.0 0.265 15.0 0.155 10.0 The temperature dependence of the rate constant, k, is given by the Arrhenius equation: k = k exp(-Ey/RT). From the data above, determine the activation energy, Ex, (in cal/mol) and frequency factor (k) for this reaction. Problem 2: Calculate the value of the activation energy (in cal/mol) required for the rate to double for the following cases: 1. When the temperature increases from 300. K to 310. K. 2. from 400. K to 410. K
