Investigating Arrhenius Energy in HI Decomposition

The video tutorial explains the decomposition of hydrogen iodide and demonstrates how to calculate the activation energy using a straight line graph. It involves selecting points on the graph, calculating the slope, and applying the Arrhenius equation to determine the activation energy. The final result is presented in both joules per mole and kilojoules per mole.

What is the calculated activation energy for the decomposition reaction?

Explain the significance of the values '1.87 into 10 to the power of 5 joules' and '187 kilojoules per mole' in the context of the reaction.
