To plot the given data and calculate the activation energy, we need to follow these steps:

1. **Understand the relationship**: 
   The data suggests that \( T(c) \) corresponds to temperature in Celsius, and \( k(s-1) \) is the rate constant (presumably in units of \( s^{-1} \)).

2. **Use the Arrhenius equation**:  
   The Arrhenius equation expresses the temperature dependence of reaction rates as:
   
   \[
   k = A \cdot e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}
   \]
   
   Where:  
   - \( k \) is the rate constant,
   - \( A \) is the pre-exponential factor,
   - \( E_a \) is the activation energy,
   - \( R \) is the gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K),
   - \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.
   
   To find the activation energy \( E_a \), we take the natural logarithm of both sides of the equation:
   
   \[
   \ln(k) = \ln(A) - \frac{E_a}{R} \cdot \frac{1}{T}
   \]
   
   This is a linear equation of the form \( y = mx + b \), where:
   - \( y = \ln(k) \),
   - \( x = \frac{1}{T} \),
   - \( m = -\frac{E_a}{R} \) (the slope).

3. **Steps to calculate activation energy**:
   - Convert the temperature from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15.
   - Plot \( \ln(k) \) vs. \( \frac{1}{T} \).
   - Determine the slope of the line, which will give us \( -\frac{E_a}{R} \).
   - Solve for \( E_a \).

I’ll now plot the graph and calculate the activation energy.

Let me first plot the data. numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Given data
T_celsius = np.array([190, 199, 215, 230, 248])  # Temperature in Celsius
k_s_1 = np.array([0.000025, 0.000053, 0.00025, 0.00063, 0.0032])  # Rate constant (s^-1)

# Convert temperature to Kelvin
T_kelvin = T_celsius + 273.15

# Calculate 1/T and ln(k)
inv_T = 1 / T_kelvin
ln_k = np.log(k_s_1)

# Plotting the graph of ln(k) vs. 1/T
plt.figure(figsize=(8, 6))
plt.plot(inv_T, ln_k, 'o-', label="Data points", color='b')
plt.title("Arrhenius Plot: ln(k) vs. 1/T")
plt.xlabel("1/T (1/K)")
plt.ylabel("ln(k)")
plt.grid(True)
plt.legend()
plt.show()The plot above shows the relationship between \( \ln(k) \) and \( \frac{1}{T} \). To calculate the activation energy, we need to determine the slope of the line, which corresponds to \( -\frac{E_a}{R} \).

Let me now calculate the slope and determine the activation energy \( E_a \). Perform linear regression to find the slope (m) and intercept (b)
slope, intercept = np.polyfit(inv_T, ln_k, 1)

# Calculate the activation energy (E_a) in Joules per mole
R = 8.314  # Gas constant in J/mol·K
E_a_Joules_per_mol = -slope * R  # E_a = -slope * R

# Convert activation energy from Joules to kilojoules (1 kJ = 1000 J)
E_a_kJ_per_mol = E_a_Joules_per_mol / 1000

E_a_kJ_per_molThe activation energy \( E_a \) is approximately **166 kJ/mol**.
