Answer:
It is given that T 1= 298 K
∴T = (298 + 10) K
= 308 K
We also know that the rate of reaction doubles when the temperature is increased by 10 K.
Therefore, let us take the value of k1 = k and that of k2 = 2k
Also, R = 8.314 J K – 1 mol – 1
Now, substituting these values in the equation:
log k2/k1=Ea/2.303*R(1/T1-1/T2)
Ea=52.9kJ mol
