Question

A slightly bruised apple will rot extensively in about 4 days at room temperature (20 degrees C). If it is kept in the refrigerator at 0 degress C, the same extent of rotting takes about 16 days. What is the activation energy for the rotting reaction?

Hermina Ferry · Accepted Answer

The answer to the question isThe activation energy for the rotting reaction = 46.15 kJ/molExplanation:To solve the question we have the Arrhenius's equation given by k = Where Ea = Activation energyR = Universal gas constantT = temperature in kelvinA = Arrhenius constant k  = Rate of reactionk  = 4 days to rot at 20 °C = at 0 °C k = 16 days = therefore k₂₀/k₀ = ÷ or 4/16 = ÷ or = 4 × = ln 4 + or Ea = 46145.21 J/mol or 46.15 kJ/mol
