One of the most historically significant studies of chemical reaction rates was that by M. Bodenstein (Z. Physik. Chem. 29 (1899) 295) of the gas phase reaction and its reverse, with rate constants and , respectively. The measured rate constants as a function of temperature are below.
Temperature (K) K(forward) K-1(reverse)
647 0.230 0.0140
666 0.558 0.0379
683 1.37 0.0659
700 3.10 0.172
716 6.70 0.375
781 105.9 3.58
For each rate constant calculate the activation energy and the equilibrium constant for each temperature.
