Given information
We are provided with a equation and a table which shows a list of temperatures along with the corresponding rate constants. We need to determine the activation energy and frequency factor for the reaction.
The rate constant for the temperature corresponding to is .
Step-by-step explanation
Activation energy () is the minimum quantity of energy which the reacting species must possess in order to undergo a specified reaction.
The frequency factor is a constant indicating how many collisions have the correct orientation to lead to products.
In order to calculate the Activation energy and the frequency factor we need to draw a graph of the natural log of the rate constant (ln k) versus the inverse of the temperature ( ).
In order to convert temperature from we add to the mentioned temperature.
