Answer :
Answer:
K = 9940
Explanation:
So we were given the following:
Activation energy (Ea) = 63 kJ/mol = 63000 J/mol
Frequency Factor (A) = 8.7 10¹² s⁻¹
Temperature = 95 + 273 = 368 K (Converting to Kelvin unit)
Rate constant (K) = ?
The formular relating all these parameters is;
K = A e-(Ea / RT)
where k represents the rate constant, Ea is the activation energy, R is the gas constant (8.3145 J/K mol), and T is the temperature expressed in Kelvin. A is known as the frequency factor, having units of L mol-1 s-1
Inserting the values, we have;
K = 8.7 x 10¹² x e-(63000 / (8.3145 x 368) )
K = 9940
