So I have an assignment:
Chemical reaction rates are proportional to a rate constant, k that changes with temperature, T according to Arrhenius equation
?=??−???
For a certain reaction, Q=8000 cal/mol, R=1.987 cal/(mol.K) and A=1200 min-1 were recorded.
a. Determine the value of k for temperature from 100 K to 500 K in 50°increments.
b. Plot the graph of k vs 1/T. Label the graph appropriately.
My solution:
clearclcQ = 8000R = 1.987A = 1200T = [100:50:500]k = A.*exp(-Q./(R.*T))plot(T, k, '--or')title('Graph of k vs 1/T')ylabel('k')xlabel('1/T')
But the question asked for k vs 1/T . So how do I do this ?
