6. The rate constant for the reaction, 2 N₂O5 (g) → 4 NO₂ (g) + O2 (g), doubles when the temperature is raised from 295.65 K to 300.62 K. (a) Determine the activation energy (in kJ/mol) for the reaction, assuming that the pre- exponential factor, A, in the Arrhenius equation is independent of temperature. (b) At what temperature would you predict this rate constant to increase by another factor of 10 relative to its value at 300.62 K?
