A common thing for teens in Rural WNY to do on dull midsummer days is to blow 2L bottles up. They do this in a non-neferious kind of way, in their open fields. They take a soda bottle and fill it with The Works Toilet Bowl Cleaner, then add balls of Aluminum Foil, cap it off, shake it and run. This reaction can easily explode large pumpkins and has the equation:
NaOH + Al --> Al(OH)3 + Na2O + H2
This reaction is performed at 24C and through your laboratory experiment the Activation Energy was determined to be 48kJ/mol. If these teens wanted to carry this reaction out at 8 times the rate, what would the Temperature have to be?
