Answer:
4.32 is the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature
Explanation:
Using the sum of Arrhenius equation you can obtain:
ln (f₂/f₁) = Eₐ / R ₓ (1/T₁ - 1/T₂)
Where f represents the rate constant of the reaction at T₁ and T₂ temperatures. Eₐ is the energy activation (155kJ / mol = 155000J/mol) and R is gas constant (8.314J/molK)
Replacing:
ln (f₂/f₁) = 155000J/mol / 8.314J/molK ₓ (1/495K - 1/515)
Where 2 represents the state with the higher temperature and 1 the lower temperature.
ln (f₂/f₁) = 155000J/mol / 8.314J/molK ₓ (1/495K - 1/515)
ln (f₂/f₁) = 1.4626
f₂/f₁ = 4.32
4.32 is the ratio of f at the higher temperature to f at the lower temperature
