Problem
The acid-catalyzed decomposition of urea has a rate constant of 4.3 × 10-4 h-1 at 334 K and 1.6 × 10-3 h-1 at 344 K. Estimate the activation energy and pre-exponential factor for the reaction. What is the rate at a room temperature of 300 K?
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
