Question

13. A chemical company just got a large order for one of their products from a large manufacturing company. To meet the demand, the owners come to you and ask if there is a quick, safe, and easy way to triple production without increasing production time. The reaction of interest has an activation energy of 85 kJ mol-' and has a rate constant of 9.33 X 10 - M s at 80 °C. You note that the facility can only handle reactions that do not exceed 100 °C. What is your professional analysis of the situation and response to your superiors? What is the predicted temperature (in °C) of the reaction when the rate has been tripled? You are looking to impress your bosses. You recall that you've just purchased a small home with a fixed 15 year mortgage at 5.85%. Losing your job means possibly being foreclosed on. Moving back in with your parents just isn't an option. Oh, and your 3 year old daughter Sally just came down with pneumonia so you've got a mountain of healthcare bills coming your way since you can barely afford basic health insurance. On top of all of that, your "ex" is still demanding 100% of their monthly alimony. A: 93.9

Answer 1

my response to my superiors will be yes and my final temperature will be 94.5°C
