1. Purpose of the experiment:
Chemical reactions normally exhibit higher reaction rates as temperature is raised, a
s reaction rates typically increase with a rise in temperature. As the temperature rises, the average kinetic energy of the molecules also increases. For two molecules to undergo a reaction, they need to collide with an energy level that is at least as high as the activation energy threshold. The likelihood of two reactant molecules impacting with enough energy for a reaction to happen and be transformed into products increases as the average kinetic energy of the molecules increases.
The activation energy, Ea, of a reaction is the energy difference between the reactants and the transition state (or activated complex). In 1889, Svante Arrhenius initially established the correlation between the rate (rate constant) of a specific process and the absolute temperature. The accepted name for this relationship is commonly referred to as the Arrhenius equation:
k = Ae-Ea/RT
where k is the rate constant, A is a probability factor, Ea is the activation energy, R is the universal gas constant, and T is the absolute temperature.
If we take logs (to...
