The rate constant of the reaction Cl + CHCl3 → HCl + CCl3 is 5.8 × 107 M–1 s–1 at 25°C and has an activation energy of 11.0 kJ/mol. Calculate the rate constant for this reaction in the lower stratosphere where the temperature is –57°C.
The isomerization reaction CH3NC → CH3CN obeys the first-order rate law,
rate = k[CH3NC],
in the presence of an excess of argon. Measurement at 500. K reveals that in 485 seconds, the concentration of CH3NC has decreased to 73% of its original value. Calculate the rate constant (k) of the reaction at 500. K.
s−1
(The integrated form for the first-order rate law can be written in the general terms
ln[A]t − ln[A]0 = −kt,
where
[A]0
is the initial concentration of reactant A,
[A]t
is the concentration of A at time t, and k is the rate constant.)
