The reaction between ethyl iodide and hydroxide ion in ethanol has an activation energy of 86.8 kJ/mol and a frequency factor of (a) Predict the rate constant for the reaction at 35 °C. (b) A solution of KOH in ethanol is made up by dissolving 0.335 g KOH in ethanol to form 250.0 mL of solution. Similarly, 1.453 g of is dissolved in ethanol to form 250.0 mL of solution. Equal volumes of the two solutions are mixed. Assuming the reaction is first order in each reactant, what is the initial rate at 35 °C? (c) Which reagent in the reaction is limiting, assuming the reaction proceeds to completion?
