In the decomposition of H_2O_2 at 300 K, the energy of activation was found to be 18 kcal//"mol" white it decreases to 6 kcal//"mol" when the decomposition was carried out in the presence of a catalyst at 300 K.How many (Give you answer by multiplying 10^7)

Answer»


Solution :Decomposition of `H_2O_2` order (RXN)`H_2O_2toH_2OtoH_2O+1/2O_2`
Then we know `K=Ae(-EA)/(RT)`
For uncatalysed Rxn
`K_1=Ae(-Ea)/(RT) " " [T=300 K , R=2]`
`K=Ae(-18xx10^3)/(2xx300)`..(i)
and for CATALYSED Rxn `K_2=Ae(-6xx10^3)/(2xx300)`...(ii)
Equation (2)/(1)
`K_2/K_1=e((18-6)xx10^3)/(2xx300)`
`K_2/K_1=e^20`
`K_2/K_1=4.85xx10^8`
Then catalysed reaction is `4.85xx10^8` times faster than uncatalysed Rxn.
