The following values of the rate constant were obtained for the decomposition of hydrogen iodide at various temperatures. Plot the logarithm of k versus 1/T and from the graph obtain the energy of activation.
Temperature (oC) k (L/mol∙s)
440………. 2.69 × 103
460………. 6.21 × 103
480………. 1.40 × 102
500………. 3.93 × 102
