The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will use the Arrhenius equation, which relates the rate constant (k) of a reaction to its activation energy (E_a) and temperature (T). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Activation Energies**: - For the uncatalyzed reaction, the activation energy \( E_u = 18 \, \text{kcal/mol} = 18000 \, \text{cal/mol} \). - For the catalyzed reaction, the activation energy \( E_c = 6 \, \text{kcal/mol} = 6000 \, \text{cal/mol} \). 2. **Write the Arrhenius Equation**: The Arrhenius equation is given by: \[ k = A \cdot e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}} \] where: - \( k \) = rate constant - \( A \) = pre-exponential factor (constant) - \( E_a \) = activation energy - \( R \) = gas constant (2 cal/(mol·K)) - \( T \) = temperature in Kelvin (300 K) 3. **Calculate the Rate Constants**: - For the uncatalyzed reaction: \[ k_u = A \cdot e^{-\frac{E_u}{RT}} = A \cdot e^{-\frac{18000}{2 \cdot 300}} \] - For the catalyzed reaction: \[ k_c = A \cdot e^{-\frac{E_c}{RT}} = A \cdot e^{-\frac{6000}{2 \cdot 300}} \] 4. **Take the Ratio of Rate Constants**: The ratio of the rate constants for the catalyzed and uncatalyzed reactions is: \[ \frac{k_c}{k_u} = \frac{A \cdot e^{-\frac{6000}{600}}}{A \cdot e^{-\frac{18000}{600}}} = e^{-\frac{6000}{600} + \frac{18000}{600}} = e^{\frac{12000}{600}} = e^{20} \] 5. **Calculate \( e^{20} \)**: Using a calculator or approximation: \[ e^{20} \approx 4.85 \times 10^8 \] 6. **Multiply by \( 10^7 \)**: The problem asks for the number of times the catalyzed reaction is faster than the uncatalyzed reaction, multiplied by \( 10^7 \): \[ 4.85 \times 10^8 \times 10^7 = 4.85 \times 10^{15} \] ### Final Answer: The number of times the catalyzed reaction is faster than the uncatalyzed reaction, after multiplying by \( 10^7 \), is: \[ \boxed{4.85 \times 10^{15}} \]
