Assume water boils at 100.0 C in Houston(near sea level) and at 90.0 C in Cripple Creek Colorado(near 9, 500 feet). If it takes 4.7 min to cook an egg in Cripple Creek and 4.4 min in Houston, what is Ea for this process? Enter your answer in scientific notation.

Question

Thanks.

Answer 1

Use the Arrhenius equation. I would use the time to determine a rate constant for each. 1 egg in 4.7 min = 1/4.7 = ? and 1/4.4 = ?
Substitute these for k1 and k2, use T1 and T2 and solve for Ea. Post your work if you get stuck.
