The rate constant of a reaction at 25°C is k₁ and at 75°C is k₂. If Ea = 60 kJ/mol, what is k₂/k₁? (R = 8.314 J/mol·K)
Correct Answer:
C. 103
EXPLANATION
Using Arrhenius equation: ln(k₂/k₁) = (Ea/R)(1/T₁ - 1/T₂) = (60000/8.314)(1/298 - 1/348) ≈ 4.63, so k₂/k₁ ≈ 103.
At critical point, the compressibility factor Z equals:
Correct Answer:
C. 0.27
EXPLANATION
At the critical point, Z = PcVc/RTc = 0.27 for most real gases (theoretical value for van der Waals gas).
