The conversion of cyclopropane, an anesthetic, to propylene has a rate constant k1=1.3*10^-6 s^-1 at 400 degrees Celsius and k2= 1.1*10^-5 s^-1 at 430 degrees Celsius. What is the activation energy in kJ/mol?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a formula to use??

OpenStudy (abb0t):

Ae^rt? Something like that. Search Arrhenius equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (jfraser):

If you plot ln(k) vs. 1/T you'll get a straight-line plot with a slope of Ea/R
