12.5 Exercise 9

Avg difficulty 2.5

The rate constant at 325 °C for the decomposition reaction C4H8⟶2C2H4\text{C}_{4} \text{H}_{8} \rightarrow \left(2 \text{C}\right)_{2} \text{H}_{4} is 6.1 ×\times 10−8 s−1, and the activation energy is 261 kJ per mole of C4H8. Determine the frequency factor for the reaction.
