In the extraction of zinc, during roasting the temperature is kept above 850°C and air current must be controlled because:-

0.75 mole of solid A_(4) and 2 moles of gaseous O_(2) are heated in a sealed vessel, completely using up the reactants and producing only one compound. It is found that when the temperature is reduced to the initial temperature, the contents of the vessel exhibit a pressure equal to half the original pressure. What conclusions can be drawn from these data about the product of the reaction?

The temperature dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction can be explained by Arrhenius equation.The rate of a chemical reaction doubles for an increase of 10 K in absolute temperature from 300 K. Calculate the activation energy(Ea)? [ R=8.314 JK^(-1)mol^(-1),log 2 = 0.3010 ].
