A sample of milk splits after 60 min. at 300 K and after 40 min. at 400 K when the population of lactobacillus acidophilus in it doubles. The activa tion energy (in kJ/ mol) for this process is closest to__________.
(Given, R = 8.3 J mol–1 K–1, , e–3 = 4.0)
(Given, R = 8.3 J mol–1 K–1,
Step-by-Step Verified Solution
Using Arrehenius equation
K = A
Ea = 0.4 × 1200 × 8.3 = 3984 J/mol
Ea = 3.984 kJ/mol = 3.98 kJ/mol
K = A
Ea = 3.984 kJ/mol = 3.98 kJ/mol
