Question
Question 8.
The reaction
(CH3)3CBr + OH---->(CH3)3COH + Br
in a certain solvent is first order with respect to (CH3)3CBr and
zero order with respect to OH. In several experiments, the rate
constant k was determined at different temperatures. A plot of
In(k) versus 1/T was constructed resulting in a straight line with
a slope value of -1.10 × 104 K and y-intercept of 33.5. Assume
k has units of s¹.
a. Determine the activation energy for this reaction.
b. Determine the value of the frequency factor A.
c. Calculate the value of k at 25°C.
