Given that the initial rate constant is 0.0180s−1 at an initial temperature of 30 ∘C , what would the rate constant be at a temperature of 180. ∘C for the same reaction described in Part A?
Express your answer with the appropriate units.
(I solved this and got 2.01, which is wrong, but I'm not exactly sure why).
(Reaction A was: The activation energy of a certain reaction is 44.3 kJ/mol . At 30 ∘C , the rate constant is 0.0180s−1 . At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast?) I already solved Part A, so I do not need the answer to this. I am also confused about the units for this equation. What would the units be, and why?
Rate constant at temperature 180.oC = 6.08 s-1
Explanation
According to Arrhenius law,
ln(k2 / k1) = (Ea / R) * (1/T1 - 1/T2)
where
k1 = initial rate constant = 0.0180 s-1
T1 = initial temperature = 30 oC = 303 K
k2 = final rate constant
T2 = final temperature = 180. oC = 453 K
Ea = activation energy = 44.3 kJ/mol = 44.3 x 103 J/mol
R = constant = 8.314 J/mol-K
Substituting the values,
ln(k2 / 0.0180 s-1) = [(44.3 x 103 J/mol) / (8.314 J/mol-K)] * (1/303 K - 1/453 K)
ln(k2 / 0.0180 s-1) = 5.823
k2 / 0.0180 s-1 = e5.823
k2 / 0.0180 s-1 = 338
k2 = (0.0180 s-1) * (338)
k2 = 6.08 s-1

The activation energy of a certain reaction is 44.3 kJ/mol . At 30 ∘C , the rate constant is 0.0180s−1 . At what temperature in degrees Celsius would this reaction go twice as fast? Express your answer with the appropriate units. I'm so confused... When I worked this problem I got 317.67 K, or 44.67 C, but they're both wrong. What am I doing wrong?

The Arrhenius equation shows the relationship between the rate constant k and the temperature T in kelvins and is typically written as k=Ae−Ea/RT where R is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol⋅K), A is a constant called the frequency factor, and Ea is the activation energy for the reaction. However, a more practical form of this equation is lnk2k1=EaR(1T1−1T2) which is mathmatically equivalent to lnk1k2=EaR(1T2−1T1) where k1 and k2 are the rate constants for a single reaction at two different absolute...
