Apply Arrhenius equation and activation energy

Paper 1, Paper 2 5 marks Difficulty 5

Arrhenius rate ratio

For a reaction in a environmental chemistry case study, \(E_a=69\,\text{kJ mol}^{-1}\), \(T_1=310\,\text{K}\), and \(T_2=335\,\text{K}\). Calculate \(\ln(k_2/k_1)\). Use the labelled diagram, graph, or data table before calculating. Enter the answer and choose the interpretation that matches the HL chemistry evidence.

Worked practice: chemistry evidence and answer

Use the chemical evidence first, then enter the result and interpretation that match it.
