                      [0.1 × 1 + 0.2 × 2]/3 = 0.5/3 = (500/3) × 10-3 = 167


                    Question 22: The number of molecules with energy greater than the threshold energy for a reaction increases fivefold by a rise of temperature from 27°C to 42 °C. Its energy of activation in J/mol is ________. (Take ln 5 = 1.6094 ; R = 8.314 J mol-1K-1)

                      Solution:

                      1. Answer: 84297.47

                        (1/5) = e-Ea/300R/e-Ea/315R

                        (5) = e[Ea/R][(1/300) - (1/315)]

                        (Ea/R) [(15/(300 × 315)] = ln 5

                        Ea = 1.6094 × 315 × 20 × 8.314

                          (0.1/2) × (100/1000) = (1.43/[160 + 18x])

                          106 + 18x = 286

                          18x = 180

                          x = 10

                            2Fe2+ + H2O2 → xA + yB → 2Fe3+ + 2OH

                            2MnO4 + 6H+ + 5H2O2 → x`C + y`D + Z`E → 2Mn+2 + 5O2 + 8H2O

                            x = 2 ; y = 2; x’ = 2, y’ = 5, z’ = 8

                            2 + 2 + 2 + 5 + 8 = 19
