Question

Indicate whether each statement is true or false.
(c) If you double the temperature for a reaction, you cut
the activation energy in half.

Accepted Answer

Hello, everyone. Today we are being given the falling problem, true or false, increasing the temperature of a reaction by two, decreases the activation energy by two. So the first thing you do is you want to recall the Iranians equation and that is we have K which is a constant rate constant is going to equal our A which is our Iranians constant or frequency factor. And that's gonna be times he and that next we're going to raise our negative activation energy divided by our rate or gas constant times our temperature in Kelvin. Of course. So something that we can discern from this is that any change and temperature will not change our activation energy. So if you raise the temperature lower the temperature, the activation energy is going to remain the same. In fact, the activation energy is only going to be dependent, dependent on the properties of the reactant, not the temperature or any concentration or collision frequency. And with that, we can conclude that our answer is going to be false overall. I hope this helped. And until next time
