    This document provides 3 chemistry problems to solve using graphical methods to determine activation energies from rate data collected at different temperatures. Students are asked to determine the activation energy for (1) the running speed of ants at different temperatures, (2) the rate coefficient of ethane cracking in a reactor at varying temperatures, and (3) the second order decomposition rate of acetaldehyde over a temperature range. The assignment is due on January 20th and is worth 60 total marks.

    Assignment 1*

    Date: 16/01/2020 Due Date: 20/01/2020

    Total Marks: 60 (20 x 3)

    Solve the following questions using graphical method.

    1. In the mid-nineteenth century the entomologist Henri Fabre noted that French ants
    (garden variety) busily bustled about their business on hot days but were rater sluggish
    on cool days. Checking his results with Oregon ants, I find

    Running speed of ants (m/hr) 150 160 230 295 370


    Temperature (oC) 13 16 22 24 28

    What activation energy represents this change in bustliness?

    2. For the thermal cracking of ethane in a tubular reactor, the following data were obtained
    for the rate coefficient at different reference temperatures:

    T (oC) 702 725 734 754 773 789 803 810 827 837
    k (s-1) 0.15 0.273 0.333 0.595 0.923 1.492 2.138 2.718 4.137 4.665

    Determine the corresponding activation energy and frequency factor.

    3. The rate of second order decomposition of acetaldehyde (ethanal, CH3CHO) was


    measured over the temperature range 700-1000 K and the rate constants are reported
    below. Find EA and k0.

    T (K) 700 730 760 790 810 840 910 1000


    L (L mol-1 s-1) 0.011 0.035 0.105 0.343 0.789 2.17 20.0 145
