Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A chemical reaction follows the Arrhenius equation. If the rate constant at temperature 300K is observed to be 0.5 s⁻¹ and at 310K is 0.8 s⁻¹, determine the activation energy of the reaction.

💡 Hint: Remember to convert the gas constant R into consistent units when performing calculations.

Question 2

A researcher finds that the activation energy for a reaction is 75 kJ/mol. If the temperature is increased from 300K to 320K, predict how the reaction rate changes.

💡 Hint: Think about the effect of a small temperature increase on collision energy and rates.
