(a) A certain first-order reaction has an activation energy of 53 kJ mol-!. It is run twice, first at 298 K and then at 308 K (10°C higher). All other conditions are iden- tical. Show that, in the second run, the reaction occurs at double its rate in the first run. (b) The same reaction is run twice more at 398 K and 408 K. Show that the reaction goes 1.5 times as fast at 408 K as it does at 398 K.
