**Question 2: Determining Activation Energy**At 32.0°C, the rate constant of a reaction is 0.0550 s⁻¹. Given that the frequency factor is 1.20 x 10¹³ s⁻¹, calculate the activation energy.---To solve this problem, you can use the Arrhenius equation:\[ k = A e^{-E_a/(RT)} \]Where:- \( k \) is the rate constant,- \( A \) is the frequency factor,- \( E_a \) is the activation energy,- \( R \) is the universal gas constant (8.314 J/mol·K),- \( T \) is the temperature in Kelvin.**Steps to solve:**1. Convert the given temperature from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.15.2. Rearrange the Arrhenius equation to solve for the activation energy \( E_a \).3. Substitute the given values and constants into the equation.4. Solve for \( E_a \).Note: Pay careful attention to units throughout the calculation to ensure accuracy.
