Study Notes

Part E - Chemical Kinetics

Rate constant for hydrocarbon decomposition at 50°C is 2.418 x 10⁻⁵ s⁻¹.
Activation energy is 179.9 kJ/mol.
Pre-exponential factor calculation using Arrhenius equation: log k = log A - (Ea / 2.303RT)
Calculating log A, the result is 12.592
Pre-exponential factor (A) = 3.90 x 10⁷⁵

Part E - Solution Chemistry - Molecular Weight Calculation

2.5 g of a non-volatile substance 'X' is dissolved in 100g of water.
The rate constant for the reaction is determined.
Mole fraction of the solute (X) = 0.0385
Given mass of the solute (X) = 2.5 g
Mass of the solvent (water) = 100 g
Calculate the molecular weight of the solute 'X'.
Mole fraction of the solute = moles of solute / (moles of solute + moles of solvent)
Moles of solvent = mass of solvent / molar mass of solvent = 100 g / 18 g/mol = 5.56 moles
Mole fraction of solute = 0.0385 = moles of solute / (moles of solute + 5.56 moles)
Solve for moles of solute = 0.21466 and using molecular weight of solute and moles of the solute to calculate molecular weight of the solute = 11.1979 g/mol.
