Calculate the rate constant, k k , for a reaction at 60.0 60.0 °C that has an activation energy of 80.1 80.1 kJ/mol and a frequency factor of 7.58 × 10 11 7.58×1011 s−1.

0.24 s-1

Explanation:

We first list the parameters as shown in the image attached. The variables are now properly substituted. This equation is used to calculate the rate constant and clearly show us the dependence of the rate constant on temperature. From this equation, we can clearly and easily see that the rate constant increases exponentially with increase in temperature of the reaction system.

answer: the rate of diffusion increases with increase in temperature.

increase in temperature, increases the molecular/particles speed (kinetic energy. diffusion means movement of particles through the material.

generally, the heavier the particle the more it interacts with the environment and more the temperature matters. so higher temperature results in higher diffusion.

thats how its supposed to be
