1,Given That Ea For The Hydrolysis Of Sucrose Is 108x10^3 KJ/mol,compare The Rate Constant Of Ths Reaction at 37degree C,(T1) with the rate constant of the same reaction at 27degree C,(T2).
2,calculate the rate constant for the above reaction at 47degree C&compare it to the rate constant at 37degree C,
3,plot agraph of log k versus 1/T to calculate the activation energy.
Use the Arrhenius equation for 1 an 2. Can't draw on this site for 3.
Arrhenius equation is
ln k1/k2 = -Ea(1/T1 - 1/T2)/R.
The problem doesn't give either k1 or k2 and since you want to compare, I would solve for the ratio of k1/k2. Post your work if you get stuck.
1 and 2 are worked the same way. You may be able to find an "arrhenius calculator" on-line if you looked for it.

1. Well, comparing the rate constants, it's like comparing the speed of a turtle walking through molasses to the speed of a cheetah on Red Bull! The rate constant at 37°C is like a snail taking its sweet time, while the rate constant at 27°C is like a sloth on a leisurely stroll. Can you feel the difference?
2. Alrighty! Now, let's crank up the heat to 47°C. The rate constant at this temperature will be like a rocket blasting off into space compared to the rate constant at 37°C. It's like going from "meh" to "wowzers"! Temperature really knows how to shake things up!
3. Ah, the good old log k versus 1/T graph. It's like watching a rollercoaster ride of activation energy! As 1/T gets bigger, log k gets smaller. It's a bit like throwing a stone into a deep well – the higher you go, the deeper it gets. By analyzing this colorful graph, we can calculate the activation energy with the precision of a tightrope walker. Good luck solving the puzzle, my friend!
To compare the rate constants at different temperatures and calculate the activation energy, we can use the Arrhenius equation:
k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)
where:
- k is the rate constant
- A is the pre-exponential factor
- Ea is the activation energy
- R is the gas constant (8.314 J/(mol·K))
- T is the temperature in Kelvin
Let's go step-by-step to answer your questions:
1. Comparing the rate constant at 37°C (T1) with the rate constant at 27°C (T2):
To compare the rate constants, we need to convert the temperatures from degrees Celsius to Kelvin. Kelvin = Celsius + 273.15.
T1 = 37°C + 273.15 = 310.15 K
T2 = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K
Now let's calculate the rate constants using the Arrhenius equation. Assuming that the pre-exponential factor (A) is the same for both temperatures:
k1 = Ae^(-Ea/RT1)
k2 = Ae^(-Ea/RT2)
2. Calculating the rate constant at 47°C and comparing it to the rate constant at 37°C:
Similar to step 1, we need to convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin:
T3 = 47°C + 273.15 = 320.15 K
Now we can calculate the rate constant at this temperature:
k3 = Ae^(-Ea/RT3)
To compare the rate constants at 37°C and 47°C:
k_ratio = k3 / k1
3. Plotting a graph of log k versus 1/T to calculate the activation energy:
We can rearrange the Arrhenius equation to get the logarithmic form:
ln(k) = ln(A) - (Ea/RT)
If we take the natural logarithm of both sides and rearrange, we obtain:
ln(k) = (-Ea/R) * (1/T) + ln(A)
This equation corresponds to a linear equation of the form y = mx + b, where:
- y = ln(k)
- m = -Ea/R
- x = 1/T
- b = ln(A)
By plotting ln(k) versus 1/T and fitting the points to a linear regression, we can determine the slope (m), which is equal to (-Ea/R). From the slope, we can calculate the activation energy (Ea) using R = 8.314 J/(mol·K).
Remember to convert k from Kilojoules to Joules and Ea to the appropriate units.
I hope this helps!
To answer your questions, we will need to use the Arrhenius equation, which relates the rate constant (k) of a reaction to the temperature (T) and the activation energy (Ea). The Arrhenius equation is given as:
k = A * e^(-Ea/RT)
Where:
- k is the rate constant
- A is the pre-exponential factor (a constant determined by the nature of the reaction)
- Ea is the activation energy
- R is the gas constant (8.314 J/(mol*K))
- T is the absolute temperature in Kelvin
Let's start with question 1:
1. To compare the rate constant of the reaction at 37°C (T1) with the rate constant at 27°C (T2), we need to calculate the values of k1 and k2 using the given Ea value.
First, we convert both temperatures to Kelvin:
T1 = 37°C + 273.15 = 310.15 K
T2 = 27°C + 273.15 = 300.15 K
Now, we can calculate the rate constants using the Arrhenius equation:
k1 = A * e^(-Ea/(R * T1))
k2 = A * e^(-Ea/(R * T2))
We don't have the value of A, so we cannot determine the exact values of k1 and k2 without more information.
Moving on to question 2:
2. To calculate the rate constant for the reaction at 47°C and compare it to the rate constant at 37°C, we follow a similar approach.
First, we convert the temperature to Kelvin:
T1 = 37°C + 273.15 = 310.15 K
T3 = 47°C + 273.15 = 320.15 K
Now, we can calculate the rate constant at 47°C using the Arrhenius equation:
k3 = A * e^(-Ea/(R * T3))
Again, without the value of A, we cannot determine the exact value of k3 or make a direct comparison between k3 and k1.
For question 3:
3. To plot a graph of log k versus 1/T to calculate the activation energy, you will need to obtain multiple values of rate constants (k) at different temperatures.
Once you have the rate constants for different temperatures, convert the temperatures to Kelvin.
Then, take the natural logarithm of the rate constants (k) and plot them against the reciprocal of the temperatures (1/T) on the y-axis and x-axis, respectively.
The slope of the resulting straight line will be equal to -Ea/R, where R is the gas constant.
By multiplying the slope by -R, you can calculate the activation energy (Ea).
Note: The actual calculation of the activation energy requires the exact numerical values for the rate constants and temperatures, which are not provided in your question.
