Reaction rates for chemical reactions are usually expressed in the form:For a particular reaction, measured values of the forward and backward reaction rates Kf and Kb,
respectively, are given by
K=BT^∞exp(-E/RT)
T, K1000, 2000, 3000, 4000, 5000
Kf7.5e15, 3.8e15, 2.5e15, 1.9e15, 1.5e15
Kb4.6e07, 5.9e04, 2.5e08, 1.4e10, 1.5e11
a)Determine B and α for the backward reaction rate Kb for which E/R = 0.
b)Determine B, α and E/R for the forward reaction rate Kf.
