QUESTION:

Ethyl iodide (\(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{I}\)) decomposes at a certain temperature in the gas phase as follows:

\(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{I}(\mathrm{g}) \rightarrow \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{4}(\mathrm{~g})+\mathrm{HI}(\mathrm{g})\)

From the following data determine the order.of the reaction and the rate constant.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

(a)

Arrhenius equation gives the relation between reaction rate constant (k) , temperature (T) and activation energy as follows;

Here,

 = Activation energy of reaction

 = Gas constant

 = Temperature
