Reaction Rates Helppp?
Answer:
Are you sure about the value and unit of your activation energy? Isn't it in kJ/mol?
Anyway, here's the equation:
k2/k1 = exp [- Ea/R ( 1/T2 - 1/T1)]
ln k2/k1 = [- Ea/R ( 1/T2 - 1/T1)]
k2/k1 = 2
R= universal gas constant, 8.31434 J mol-1 K-1
T1=298 K
T2 =? (in Kelvin)
A rule of thumb is that reaction rate doubles for every 10 deg C rise in temperature. Though not applicable to all, your T may be somewhat close to 35 degC (308 K). Just a guess, but check your Ea first before computing. I'm getting a negative value with your Ea.
