Consider the inter conversion of nitrosotriaceto amine into nitrogen, phorone and water. The reaction is 1st order in each direction, with an equilibrium constant of 104. The activation energy for the backward reaction is 57.45 kJ/mol. Assume its Arrhenius pre exponential factor as 1012 s−1. What is the expected forward constant at 300 K, if we initiate this reaction starting with only reactant?

Answer» Consider the inter conversion of nitrosotriaceto amine into nitrogen, phorone and water. The reaction is $1^{s t}$ order in each direction, with an equilibrium constant of $10^{4}$ . The activation energy for the backward reaction is 57.45 kJ/mol. Assume its Arrhenius pre exponential factor as $10^{12} s^{- 1}$ . What is the expected forward constant at 300 K, if we initiate this reaction starting with only reactant?
