Question 2
a) Table 1 shows results of 12 measurements of activation energy (Ea) for some reaction. The literature value of the activation energy for this reaction is 38.942 kJ/mol.
Table 1: Measurement of Activation energy
Measurement Ea (kJ/mol)
1 38.542
2 38.751
3 39.016
4 38.768
5 38.943
6 38.426
7 39.124
8 38.546
9 38.864
10 38.687
11 38.579
12 38.798
Do these results differ significantly from the literature value? [15 Marks]
b) How can a research problem be justified for a particular research? [10 Marks]
