Raw Data Appendix for Reactor Study

This document contains raw experimental data from reactor experiments conducted at different temperatures and reaction rates. It also includes a sample computation to calculate the activation energy using the Arrhenius equation by plotting the natural log of the rate constant against the inverse of temperature and determining the slope.

II. SAMPLE COMPUTATION


Soving for Activation Energy (Ea):
Arrhenius Equation:
_
=

1
ln() = ln() ( )

= +
From the plot of absolute value of ln(k) as a function of 1/T:
= 16.913 + 2.3852
= 16.913
But, m = -Ea/R

= 16.913 =
8.314
= . /
