Julia discovered a value for the activation energy that is 29,695 Joules/mole for a certain rxn using density function theory and she believed that it follows collision theory. But Jenny disagrees with her, instead Jenny believes the rxn is in accordance with Arrhenius Law Temperature dependent. Jenny then performed a trial in an isochoric ideal batch reactor to verify. Results showed that k = 0.005/second at 25degC and k = 0.07/second at 100degC. From the data obtained, determine the right temperature dependency mechanism this rxn follows. Utilizing both theories, confirm your answer by the use of calculated activation energy values. Note: before substituting the values, derive expression that relates the two k constants
