Experiments have shown that the average frequency of chirping by a snowy tree cricket (Oecanthus fultoni) depends on temperature as shown in the table. Chirping Rate (per min) Temperature (C) 178 25.0 126 20.3 100. 17.3 What is the apparent activation energy of the process that controls the chirping?

For a certain reaction, Ea is 135 kJ and H=45 kJ. In the presence of a catalyst, the activation energy is 39% of that for the uncatalyzed reaction. Draw a diagram similar to Figure 11.14 but instead of showing two activated complexes (two humps) show only one activated complex (i.e., only one hump) for the reaction. What is the activation energy of the uncatalyzed reverse reaction?

Experiments during a recent summer on a number of fireflies (small beetles, Lampyridaes photinus) showed that the average interval between flashes of individual insects was 16.3 s at 21.0C and 13.0 sat 27.8C. a. What is the apparent activation energy of the reaction that controls the flashing? b. What would be the average interval between flashes of an individual firefly at 30.0C? c. Compare the observed intervals and the one you calculated in part b to the rule of thumb that the Celsius temperature is 54 minus twice the interval between flashes.
